Student Bunk-in Program
The Moyers Corners Fire Department has been running a Student Bunk-in Program for some time now, and it has been a tremendous success. Students who are enrolled in the Fire Protection Technology Curriculum at Onondaga Community College live at the fire stations. In return for living at the fire stations, the students work regular duty shifts to help maintain the fire stations and apparatus, and when an alarm comes in, act as firefighters and respond with the apparatus. This has not only helped to keep the facilities and apparatus well maintained, but has also helped the daytime staffing.
