June 14, 2026
 

Heavy rains in the north country contributed to Potsdam Fire Department running 12 pump details or flood related incidents and 4 fire alarms related to leaks or water damage. E-48 handled fire alarms throughout the afternoon while R-30 delivered sump pumps or heavy duty pumps to numerous areas to assist on water removal.

Please use this as a friendly reminder to check/maintain your sump pump and stay prepared.
