Rye Fire Department: Volunteer Video

[firedude 985]

This is a video Produced by Rye City Council member Joe Sack for a video series called "Eye of Rye". It aired earlier this year but has just resurfaced. I am unable to post the video directly, so just click the link.

There have been Volunteers from Rye who ran and were elected to the City Council.

Currently only the Rye Judge is a member.

No Rye Police Officers are currently active.

Rye Public Works has 3 members.

I always chuckle when i hear politicians encouraging people to become volunteer firefighters and ems providers, especially in cities. If they had any B***s, they'd do it themselves. They always say people should do it to save money. Is that how they see volunteers? Simply as a means to save money and not as a way to provide service?

Its true you don't see people like city councilmen and such as volunteers but im a vol in Rye and I know of some high level corporate positions and attorney's and such that are standing there next to me in there mercedes with a blue light or packing hose with me doing the same thing i do, it doesn't matter who you are fire doesn't care but just to go a and help out is all it takes.

I was also involved in the creation of the video since my buddy and I do stuff like that for RyeTV.
