On January 31st, The Cattaraugus Seneca Fire held its 58th Annual Installation Dinner. A moment of silence was observed for the victims of the Washington, D.C., plane and helicopter crash.
The evening commenced with dinner, followed by the recognition of the newly elected officers and an awards ceremony. Congratulations to all of the individuals recognized for their contributions.
We extend our gratitude to the Seneca Fire Cattaraugus Territory Volunteer Department for their dedication and efforts to ensure the safety of our community. Nya:wëh!
