BARRE – The Barre Volunteer Fire Company is hosting an open house Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The community is welcome to get hands-on training, said Fire Chief Ben Flansburg.

The event is part of Recruit NY outreach efforts this weekend by many fire departments in New York State.

Barre will offer refreshments during the open house. People also can try on turn-out gear, learn how to spray water and check out the fire trucks and see how they are operated. Barre firefighters responded to 268 calls in 2022.
