Looking for info on Banksville Fire Dept.

[Guest bibbles10504]

To further touch on what Rob said, Banksville covers what is known as Town of North Castle First District #3 (Westchester). They are also known as Greenwich Fire Department Station 7 hence the automatic responses.

Here's a general idea of their district map... District Map ... Brought to you by the newly created Armonk FD site... Hope you like it, spread the word, and hopefully the map helps a bit. (It excludes what Banksville covers in Greenwich)

As far as I know Long Ridge has not canceled Automatic Aid from Banksville (The merger thread info was about Long Ridge canceling Automatic Aid from Turn of River). There are only a few streets that Banksville comes in on that are in the Taconic Rd area, and there are not that many calls there. Taconic Rd crosses the Greenwich - Stamford Border and Stamford units have to go into Greenwich to get tot he section that is in Stamford. The route to get to Taconic Rd is not an easy one, this is why Banksville has always been called. We call directly to 60 Control for this response, so I don't even know if Greenwich FD is even aware of the calls. For EMS calls in that area we call for a dual response from Greenwich EMS along with Stamford EMS. This area has allot of M/A arrangements like this due to the lack of good East/West roads. Long Ridge has about 15 or 20 streets they are first due on in Pound Ridge, NY for the same reason.
