Sullivan Fire | The Exhibit Opening Reception Saturday, 2 p.m. July 8 Meet the artist and other local firefighters as you explore the exhibit. Preview the Chris Ramirez’ documentary, currently in production, in The Union Digital Gallery. Chris Ramirez Photographs on view in The Owl and Hawk Gallery as well. 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.
