Duanesburg Ambulance Corps Celebrates 55 Years

DUANESBURG - The Duanesburg Volunteer Ambulance Corps (DVAC) will proudly celebrate 55 years of continuous service to the Town of Duanesburg and surrounding communities with a special anniversary event on Saturday, June 13, 2026.

The community is invited to join a full day of activities beginning at 9:00 a.m., featuring a vendor fair, live music, and a children’s play area.

For more than five decades, DVAC has remained steadfast in its commitment to compassionate, professional service, continually evolving to meet the changing needs of the community and the ever-advancing demands of the emergency services field.

“This milestone is not just about our past,” said Bob Cuttita, Chairman of the Board of Directors. “It’s about honoring the volunteers, families, employees and community members who have made this service possible and reaffirming our commitment to serve for generations to come.”

The noon celebration program will include:

Historical reflections from individuals who helped build and sustain the organization
