You are trying to compare an ADULT ONLY retirement community in sunny Florida to a congested NY county. You say you spent 30+ years as a FDNR dispatcher? You must know the area Eastchester FD serves. Do you think that 2 firefighters on a rig is a waste of money? I caught a fire the other nite on the 8th floor of a senior citizen apartment. 2 Eng. 1 Ladder and my Duty car : TOTAL 8 MEN. You pay low taxes because the Villages doesn't have to build or run SCHOOLS! Plus the SCAB labor of Rural Metro doesn't provide pensions to it's workers. I'm sure you retired in either Tier 1 or 2 of the NYS Pension system and every month you cash your check. Yet you defend Rural Metro and speak of wasteful spending and "Breaking the Bank". Shame on you, sir.

But I thought M/A was the answer? Especially when guys come back on OT of an undermanned and ill equipped Dept. to help their neighboring struggling "Brothers" out next door who have been fighting the same issue for yrs. That's all Ive ever heard from my fellow Union Brothers, "Hey we're there for you guys just give us a call." LMAO! The chickens are coming home to roost!!! Gotta love the "Union Solidarity!" It's all bullshit fellows!

Barry... I think what he means is that we have ONE FD for all 3 municipalities. We cover just under 5 square miles, just under 40K residents; everything from 1 1/2 single family frames to old law 7 story brick to hi-rise OMD. There are 3 separate Town Halls; 3 separate Police Depts; 3 separate DPW; 3 separate Courts; and 3 separate School Districts.

I would not agree that there are "too many Officer" positions in Eastchester. There is one Captain and two Lts. working on any given shift. As far as Eastchester being a combination Dept., we have not had an effective volunteer element for over 20 years. In fact I think it's been about 8 years since volunteers were terminated from all fire response. Like many areas in lower Westchester the numbers are not there. Local 916 thinks that residents should know that just because they see a Ladder truck parked in the firehouse, it is not staffed and is out of service.

Apparently he does not do his job... He's too busy being a bigot. And while you might not have issue with anti-Italian remarks, I do. You see it's not just the remarks, it's the prejudice. Are Jews and Italians not worthy of promotion on HIS job? Or are they simply not hired based on their last name? For a guy who quotes Thomas Jefferson you have a lot to learn about Liberty and Justice for ALL.

Only time I have ever heard true hatred from someone at work was when the alcohol flowed. And it wasn't a secret, and it wasn't in an official function. This guy is a joke. Had probably the greatest job going and he F'd it up. But he has civil service protection, so you know what? He can stay in that position forever. If he thinks donating 750 bucks to some organization is going to smooth things over he is sorely mistaken. The hatred in what he said goes back to Hitler and his animosity towards anyone not of the Aryan bloodline. Insert retarded for Jew, insert Irish for Jew, etc. The ethnocentrism this man displayed is beyond reprehension. If he had any self worth he would hang it up for the people that have worked hard for him. Let the legacy of the current members be his legacy, not his own downright pitiful and disgusting use of the English language.
