Syd, Went to the link for Burn Care Everywhere, sais sight is for sale. Can you get the correct listing.

And there are those who sit back & do nothing. They are content to sit back & critize anything new, or possible change.

Question, were the red lights on the ambulance or private cars? We all know what is legal and isn't with the use of lights.

Most insurance companies will give a deduction for a properly installed fire sprinkler system. The state chief's used to have a demo trailer showing how fire sprinklers work, is it still available? Take it to school's for your fire prevention education. Have your town borad be part of the demo. Invite civic organizations to witness the events. BE PROACTIVE! Don't accept the town boards initial rejection.

As to living on a farm w/o hydrants, you can install a holding tank in the basement to feed the system. This will give you 10-15 minutes of water, enough to either control or extinguish the fire. Along with a smoke/fire detection system, gives you the best chance to save lives & property. What would you rather do, have a water damage or a total loss? That is how you must present your cause. That is how the insurance companies look at it.

Contact organizations such as the National Fire Sprinkler Association or Operation Life Safety for help. These guys have been at it a long time and can offer much help.

If I can be of any assistance, leave a post with a contact, I will reply.

The Glenville Fire District lies between Tarrytown and Elmsford. To the south would be the Thruway & East Irvington districts. Glenville did have active vols until WWII. After that, it gradually declined. There is still a Sanford Cub (1932?) that they used that was at the old firehouse. There was a very active social membership in the 1060's to about 1980's. As typical, with no younger members, membership declined. There was also the cloud of misuse of funds that disappeared. The district includes the Marriott Courtyard, Springhill Suites and the Sheraton hotels. Also the Bayer Property9Former Technicon), and all of the office buildings up to but not including the original Marriott. Dunnings Drive would be the eastern end of the district.There was talk of trying to reorganize a group of volunteers in the 1980's, but the Town of Greenburgh killed the idea.

What is your source on that? As far as working at some locations solely based on your NY card? Although I've been out of the game for a few years, when I was with a MICU in NJ, I couldn't just work off my NY Certifications?

My department contracted with e-Dispatches. Page goes out as either a voice alert or text message. We are a small department, but we picked up around 6 more members per alarm. Prior to that is was only pager & siren.

The entire hillside of Franklin Street in Tarrytown is an access nightmare. The house in question is at the NW intersection of Franklin & Windle Park. To go back, in the 1930's or 40's,not exactly sure. There was a terrible fire at the Windlemere Inn. Freezing ,wet with winds blowing in directly from the Hudson River. Lots of frostbite due to lack of proper protection that was unavailable at the time. The Inn was on the westside of Windle Park and had direct exposure to the winds/snow from the river.My father was a member at that time of TFD and had the old newspaper articles of the fire.
