ABOUT

Volunteer firefighters are among the most important people

 in our communities, yet they are often overlooked.

 Cinematographer and photographer Chris Ramirez 

serves alongside Upstate New York’s first responders, 

and his new film and photography project - Sullivan Fire - shines a light 

on their invaluable service. 

Ramirez, a volunteer interior firefighter with the Rock Hill Fire Department, 

is on hiatus from active duty as devotes his efforts to telling their stories. 

Sullivan Fire was inspired by Ramirez’ work with the Join Sullivan Fire Initiative, a county-wide recruitment and retention task force organized by the Sullivan County Bureau of Fire.
