What? There's no such federal law.

 

each state sets its fire laws up, and in NY a village is required to provide (either by direct supervision, Croton-onhudson, or contract, Mt. kisco) fire protection. Cities, and villages are required, towns are not allowed to set up fire protection. 

 

Port Chester is a village that directly oversees their fire department (it's a department of the village), so they have absolute rule over budgeting and such and staffing.

I Guess I'm wrong I was under the impression that is federal law to provide Police and Fire Service. EMS is optional 

Isn't it a federal law to have fire protection for the community? So if the volunteers were to not volunteer wouldn't they be forced to hire firefighter's ???

Im lost just a quick question ? Would it make sense to consolidate ? Yonkers is a fairly busy dept and many times they put an extra engine and many times you hear them put battalion 3 into service if they were to consolidate wouldn't that be tacking away from them to service other parts of Westchester county ? and wouldn't response times increase ?

not trying to start problems i can see it working for small towns but not a city
