Why a $16 Chicken Dinner Matters More Than You Think
On Sunday, May 25th from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, the Cambridge Volunteer Fire Department is firing up the grill for a cause that’s as urgent as it is delicious: their annual Chicken Barbecue Fundraiser. For $16, the price of a meal you’d grab without thinking, you get:½ Chicken, flame-grilled to perfectionPotato, Coleslaw, and RollA Brownie for good measureAnd most importantly: the satisfaction of backing the volunteers who back us, 24/7💡 One dollar of your purchase covers digital processing. Every other penny supports readiness, response, and resources for the department.This fundraiser has quietly become a Cambridge tradition. For over 25 years, this humble meal has helped keep gear updated, training ongoing, and fire trucks rolling. It’s not flashy. But it’s essential.Years ago, our fire department poured its heart into the Fireman's Carnival. A summertime highlight with fireworks, carnival games, pony rides, and rural charm. It was a beautiful chapter in our village story. But it also required hundreds of volunteer hours and often raised less money than a single barbecue event. Those hours are now wisely spent on drills, calls, and keeping our neighbors safe.But don’t worry! A little of that carnival spirit is coming back. The beloved Cake Wheel will be spinning once again at this year’s Cambridge Balloon Festival (June 6–8, 2025). So yes, there will be frosting, suspense, and a chance to win dessert glory.✅ For now, do the simple thing that makes a big difference:Pre-order your dinner. Pick it up at 50 Gilbert Street. Eat well. Support better.Because our volunteers don’t ask for much and they’re always there when it counts.

Keeping Cambridge Ready: Fire Engine Refurbishment Approved
At the May 7th Village Board meeting, Trustees approved funding for the 2009 Engine Upgrade Project, a targeted effort to extend the life and capabilities of one of the Cambridge Fire Department’s core response vehicles.Rather than spending over half a million dollars on a new fire engine, the Board approved an allocation of up to $62,000 to refurbish and modernize our existing 2009 engine. This decision reflects a broader commitment to cost containment, operational readiness, and financial stewardship.What’s Included:Bodywork to address corrosion and restore structural integrityModern LED emergency lighting and safety upgradesNew backup camera and smart generatorInternal improvements completed by Cambridge Fire Department members saving approximately $3,500 in laborThese upgrades are designed to bring the 2009 engine up to today’s standards while extending its service life. The work will be completed in partnership with Premier Fire Apparatus, with support and sweat equity from our own department volunteers.How It’s Being Funded:The project will be paid for using a portion of the proceeds from the recent sale of the Old Firehouse.The remaining proceeds from that sale will be placed in reserve, pending further discussion by the Village Board and alignment with the Treasurer’s financial planning.Why It Matters:This isn’t just about saving money. It’s about protecting Cambridge. By investing in the equipment we already own and maintaining it to a high standard, we’re ensuring our volunteer firefighters are ready when the call comes in without putting undue strain on taxpayers.— Village of Cambridge, NYBoard of TrusteesP.S. Once the upgrades are finished, residents are welcome to stop by the firehouse and take a look. Our volunteers are always proud to show how your support helps them serve Cambridge.
