If Rye Brook presently has eight firefighters and they picked up the eight dismissed firefighters from Port Chester and paid their salaries with the million they no longer have to give the PCFD. That would give them . 16 members on the Department, the same number of career firefighters many of the smaller jobs in Westchester have right now give or take a few ===Larchmont, Pelham Harrison, Pelham Manor etc. When appropriate officers could be developed from the group, ie One Captain, three Lieutenants and twelve firefighters on 24. hours a day coverage
A four person or three person shift could take care of the vast majority of smells and bells calls before the need for mutual aid. 
 The benefit for Rye Brook would be a professional Department for about what they are paying now without having to deal with the contract and any future PCFC drama ,additionally, they would get fully trained veteran firefighters well versed in their Department and community. ( they work there now)
 The eight Port Chester firefighters would again be employed and their families protected.
  I think it would be worth a conversation. it could really be a win-win-win all around.

Sorry to hear that a collusion is suspected. How about Rye Brook picking up the eight PCFD firefighters and giving their area 24 hour fire protection for the same or nearly the same million dollars they are now paying Port Chester. 
They could be self sufficient and escape from the annual contract drama.

Port Chester has had an amazing turn around in their downtown region, bars, resturants ,big box stores. rejuvenated Capital Theater, plus a multi screen movie complex. All this spells a lot of people coming to the Village, it has become a destination. Thus it is Port Chester's responsibility to protect these people not put them in peril.
 Remember a generation ago Port Chester suffered a huge loss of life in the Gulliver's fire, one of Westchester's worst public assembly disasters and that was when the Village had a small percentage of the gathering places they have now. 
 With crowed venues and a depleted Fire Department another Gulliver's is lurking.

Last wet down I went to in Larchmont was maybe in 1974 when they purchased their 75 ft. Mack  aerialscope. I got home three days later. I doubt political correctness will permit a repeat of that type party.
