    Maplewood is a town of colonie volunteer fire dept. At this time the mayors of watervliet and cohoes are not sure what they wanna do yet as a merger. If they do merge a station in cohoes would have to shut down (cohoes has 3 stations). the mayor of cohoes is afraid that might hurt response times in the city.
    In my honest opinion and thats all it is.
    The mutual aid agreement between Watervliet, Green Island, and Cohoes works great. If one city gets a call for a fire as their depts being dispatched so is the other 2 depts. It gets the fires out more quickly and helps reduce the number of fire fighter injuries.
    And Watervliet and Green Island just shared the cost of a arial truck for use in both the city and village. And Watervliet covers all ems calls in green island with their ambulance service. So there is some consolidation of services with those 2 depts
