SIDNEY — Since 1857, the Sidney Department of Fire and Emergency Services has provided excellent service to the community. Their professional staff is the backbone and foundation of this service. In 2022, Sidney Department of Fire and Emergency Services returned to their full, authorized staffing (11 personnel per shift). This brings the department’s current roster to 38 uniformed personnel and one civilian administrative assistant.
