Tarrytown Board Votes Out Fire Chief

[x635 4,066]

The Tarrytown Village Board has voted Fire Chief Terrance Murphy out as of last night. He has more training and certs than the 2 other chiefs together. He was outspoken about the confined space deaths and ss a safety engineer. They are visibly worried that he will make them comply with the current and modern NFPA and OSHA standards.

In addition, his mother also ran as a write candidate in for trustee a week ago against the board who voted him out. 1 st time ever.

What they are diing to him is reprehensible. And what your source reports appears to be true.politics rules again. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

If this turns out to be true, a sad day for both the village and the fire service. How can a man serve a second time as a chief, and be voted out? Lots of questions to be answered. Afraid that he will make them comply with OSHA & NFPA guidelines/regulations. This from a village that PESH deemed deliberately violated rules & regs. Shame on the Village Board. Is it true that the fire wardens voted that he advance at their meeting? Why hasn't the Journal News publish the results of the PESH determinations? The residents had a right to know PRIOR to the recent village elections. Didn't see much in either the Journal News or The Patch. Why?

Bc this is ongoing and just came out this morning.

Hopefully the village board & administrator will net hide behind the matter by claiming that it is a personnel issue.

You can set your clock by that answer

Just as a reminder, Tarrytown lost their most recent PESH appeal a couple of months ago.

They think they're above the law, and really don't care.

Just heard that the village board has voted to allow him to hold office.

I may have been wrong as to his second time running for chief.

I would not trust anything the Village says or does. I'm doubtful of their motives on this.

the village once again plays politics with the fd .its a clown show with them and a cover up for the 2 guys involved in the deaths of 2 great men .why doe snt the fd take action against the 2 members involved in the deaths that still belong to the fd?before some one els gets hurt?
