After The Fire strives to return some of the
support we receive from the community.
We are willing to
speak at meetings of area groups to discuss the work of our
organization. Recently we spoke at the West Charlton Auxiliary
meeting, the Galway Lioness February dinner meeting and the
Association of Fire Chiefs Ballston Spa meeting. In the past we
worked with the following programs:
- AFTER THE FIRE ADOPTS BALLSTON SPA FITNESS TRAIL
After The Fire has begun its 4th year adopting the Assemblyman
Jim Tedisco Fitness Trail in Ballston Spa. The trail was
established in 2005, made possible by a grant sponsored by
Assemblyman James Tedisco and thereby named for him. In 2006,
After The Fire began it's quest to control litter, in order to
allow those who take advantage of the trail to have a pristine
place to exercise and also allow the Village workers to attend
to other duties. The trail runs from Front Street to Prospect
Street and is 1 mile round trip.
