Great shots Seth. I saw pictures of PFFs Justin Mathew and Doug Mignone of SFD. Gee, it only took them 11 days out of the Academy to catch their first job, and a third alarm no less. Are you still waiting? Good job to all the Depts. and I hope the brothers aren't hurt too bad. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

The village board of trustees are playing games with the residents lives. The career dept has been horribly understaffed for years and under threat of disbanding.  They should be ashamed of themselves and should be held responsible for their actions which are both unethical if not illegal

Wow, I'm totally disgusted by this very sad news. In my 48 years with the Department I have always been proud of our reputation as one of the best Fire Departments in Westchester County. That reputation was earned by the dedicated service and hard work performed by the Career and Volunteer staffs working together. Sure we had our differences at times (some not so pleasant) but we worked them out for the betterment of the service. The Village of Port Chester has been very fortunate to have a Fire Department that has saved many lives and millions of dollars in fire losses over the years. The quick response of the Career Staff with Engines 58 & 59 and the superb firefighting tactics of it's dedicated Volunteers have prevented many small fires from becoming major conflagrations. Anyone in the Fire Service knows how fast uncontrolled fires multiply by the minute and therefore the importance of the quick initial response. In most cases that is what the Career staff provided. To the Mayor and Members of the Village Board, as a former Chief of this Department I'm appalled by this decision. You should be ashamed of yourselves for taking this horrendous action and placing the lives and property of the citizens in jeopardy. I hope your actions don't cause any hardship or sorrow to anyone involved. To the Career staff I wish you Godspeed in finding new suitable employment in your chosen profession. To the Volunteers watch your backs, you never know who's next on the hit list.. In closing I feel a list of how the Village Board Voted should be posted so the residents know who is responsible for this unfortunate decision.....

Thankfully the officer had a camera to record the incident. I have been pulled over a few times and never demanded a break. If the officer saw fit, I was given a warning. If I got a ticket I pled guilty and paid the fine. The easiest thing is obey the law.

Gimme a break. They're doing their job!

White Plains was mutual aid? Where was Eastchester, Greenville, Hartsdale, Scarsdale,The Pelhams or Larchmont on this? Another sad case of Egos getting in the way of Life and Property Protection.
Here is an idea, Lets call a Ladder Company from 30 Minutes away when there are 2 that are within 5 minutes and 4 that are within 15 minutes. Give me an F***in Break.

This photo was taken in the early 1950's. Greenville(Westchester) HQ's was built in 1940 on Central Ave in the Edgemont section of Greenburgh NY.

Congratulations to Joe, Frank and Bill. Best wishes and stay safe.

My condolences to Ed and the Rush family. Ray was a true gentleman and did so much for all of the Westchester Fire Service. He was my instructor for Ed. Meth. in Montour in '94, and I had the pleasure of watching the Rangers win the Stanley Cup with him in the RBI. He will be truly missed.
