Albany Budget Plan Would Close Fire Department Ladder Company

3 posts in this topic

ALBANY -- There is controversy days after Albany's mayor rolled out the city's budget plan. The issue is over how the city plans to meet roughly $176 million in demands.

“When we get [an] alarm of fire we dispatch three engine companies, two ladder companies, the heavy rescue and a paramedic rig and the battalion chief,” Albany Fire Chief Warren Abriel said.

But firefighters could soon be dealing with a smaller pool of apparatus. The budget looks to close Ladder No. 1, which Mayor Kathy Sheehan says will save the city $1.2 million in overtime costs without laying anyone off.
