Joel LaBelle started looking into forming a Chapter, made a few phone calls and invited a few fellow firefighters to get together. We had our first unofficial meeting in October of 2006, and shortly thereafter submitted our application for our Chapter Charter from the Red Knights International Firefighters Motorcycle Club, Inc. On November 22, 2006, it was granted and RKMC New York Chapter 34 was born.

MISSON STATEMENT OF THE RED KNIGHTS
The Red Knights share the common interest of motorcycling, promoting motorcycle safety, and the brotherhood of firefighting. A FIRE FIGHTERS PRAYER When I am called to duty, God, Where ever flames may rage Give me the strength to save some life, Whatever be its age.

make you turn around, but there's been a bad wreck with children dying on the ground.
When you see us coming I hope you'll understand, let us have the right away someone needs our helping hand. Sometimes a child is choking,
sometimes a broken leg, sometimes a heart stops beating and when we get there it's to late.
So, if you see us crying when we think we are alone, you'll know we had a bad one and we're feeling mighty down. We don't do it for the money
you know we don't get paid. We don't do it for the glory, but the life we might have saved.
Somewhere deep within us, our souls are crying out, we're here to help our neighbors in their hour of pain and doubt. God gave us something
special to help us see you through, we do it cause we love you and care about you too.
