On Aug. 21, the Tioga County Chamber of Commerce will put the Nonprofit Spotlight on Owego Hose Teams, Inc. The recognition will take place at the Steamer House, located at 87 North Ave. in Owego at 1 p.m.
Owego Hose Teams, Inc. is a firematic hose racing team for the members of the Owego Fire Department (OFD). The Hose Team practices, trains, drills and competes in firematic hose races to improve firefighting skills for the benefit of its members and the community they serve with fire protection services in Owego, N.Y.
The Hose Team also spearheads community projects, such as the Baker Fireman’s Fountain Restoration in the Courthouse Square, which was completed in 2019. For the past five years the Owego Hose Teams has maintained the Fireman’s Fountain with its business partners. They also hosted the 127th Annual Central NY Firemen’s Association Convention in 2021, drawing volunteer firefighters from across the State to our community.
Their current project is the restoration of OFD’s 1866 Steam Fire Engine and associated “Steamer House.” They are in the process of restoring the 157-year-old Amoskeag Steam Fire Engine, known as the “Steamer”, that has not been operational since the late 1980s. In 1987 the Steamer was the oldest licensed operating steam fire engine in the nation.
Both the Steamer and Steamer House will be used to educate and engage area youth going forward through their “STEAM Team” high school program and fire prevention activities.
This investment in our community, consisting of all non-taxpayer funds raised by the Hose Teams, is well over $300,000.
