The knox box is a win win for both sides, us and the public. By making a key available we can do our jobs more efficiently without having to wait for a keyholder. It also minimizes damage that would occur if the fd had to force entry to the building. I dont see why more municpalities havnt enacted laws or ordinances to place these on commercial buildings.

All of port chesters firehouse's have recently been built or rennovated, with the exception of the largest, headquarters on westchester ave. There are plans for major work to be done to repair the building which desperately needs it. The bids are out and hopefully well see some work soon.

As with many other departments personal vehicles are not allowed on the highway, for it is not only a problem with congestion in traffic as with personel safety. We usually wait as long as possible for additional manpower at the firehouse. Also we on many occasions have one unit stage on the entrance ramp (unless crically needed) this way members can meet there and ride down to the scene on a piece of fire apparatus.
