Red Knights Motto "Loyal to our Duty"
How RKMC NY LIII was formed...

Firefighter Tim Tordoff from the East Greenbush Fire Company and member of RKMC NY III decided to form another Chapter in the Rensselaer County area.  Several other firefighters who also rode were contacted by Tim and after a couple of organizational meetings Chapter LIII became a reality.  Along with Tim Tordoff, David Cook, East Greenbush Fire Co., Aaron Jennes, Clinton Heights Fire Co., Matt Harris, Pittstown Fire Co., Gary Thomas Sr., Pittstown Fire Co., Robert Cook, Albany Fire Dept. and Hal Siegel, Albany Fire Dept. all jumped at the chance to become the Charter Members of the Chapter.  On May 28th, 2014, New York Chapter LIII was formed as we received our Charter from Red Knights International.
