But he is the most popular guy in the fire house. Isn't that good enough to be Chief

The days of "we been doing it like this for years now" are over. Tradiation now is about safety. Rye is doing the right thing. I served on the fire wardens in my old dept. It served no purpose. Attitude was, what's best for my company, not for the Department. It moved the department backwards. Safety can not be overlooked anymore. If you can't see that, maybe you shoukd rethink about being a volunteer

There maybe a lot more to thus story. At end of the article. It says the people did not trust the fire department and the city counsel to make the repairs to the fire house.

Though sad the Chief had to step down. But as said on this site many times. Rules are rules. Nepotism rules have been in place across the country now for many years. They dont only pertain to Fire departments, they effect many civil service jobs. Best of luck to you Chief

I still would be the basterd child of Emergency Service. The agency that no body really wanted.

Alumni 1990 to 1995!!

We all have to stop acting like 5th graders and act like adults who know better , To not call an agency because they don't call you is stupid, foolish, and deadly. Sooner or later you will be called out and be held responsible for by passing agencies. Boooohoooo they didn't call me. So I am not calling them waaawaaawaaa. Total stupidity

Basically it is judged by exprience, are you in a 911 system. Education and training. CHanes are if someone has a year exprience in FDNY and someone has a year experience in a volley, The FDNY person most likely get the job

Wow, I see not much of a pay raise from 28 years ago. When I started with Nationwide Ambulance starting salary was 13 an hour

The problem is that it looks like another drug, if they can't tell if it is or not how would they know what it is. I see it as the school being very proactive on this issue

I have known Lolo from our days working at the TSA. She is the kindest most warm hearted person you will ever meet. You are in our Prays Lolo. Rob Bob and Maria

No I don't know that to be fact, I am going by what members here are saying. If you know for sure an answer to theses questions please feel free to answer them. I am judgeing my response by what I have read hear. Now rereading what I said perhaps jumped the gun and for that I am sorry. But if true. There is a very serious problem

I don't understand. If Hartsdale has six members and they do not respond to emergency calls. How are they even a department. Why are they even given that money. It makes no sense. If that payment of day to day living is for the volunteers that is disgusting. Why are they even allowed in the fire house. Is this a legit combo department or are they hangout to just watch TV read the paper and drink coffee. If that's the case sign me up for that thank you pension!

It maybe very difficult to get what your requesting due to the on going lawsuit pending .

I am going to say the evil word. CONSOLIDATION, we speak of this on Fire and EMS. Why not on Police? There are so many police departments within short distance of each other, why not merge them?
