Thanks, for the info. guys but, what about antiques, i am not talking about ones that members own but, ones that the district or companys own. And another thing, is rye brook affiliated with port chester or are they on their own (rye brook).

[Stench60 29]

A few things for further clarification,

1) Engine 58- Emergency 1

Engine 59- Emergency 2

Rescue 40- Fire Patrol & Rescue, Co., No.1

2) There are no department owned antiques.

3) We are a village fire department, not a fire district.

4) Port Chester provides 24 hour/ year round protection to the village of Rye Brook, the Rye Brook FD operates from 7am to 7pm daily and is under the command of the chief officers of the Port Chester FD at all times.

Hope this helps

Hey, stench60, that helps ALOT!! thank you.

I thought if you covered more than one municipality then you had to be a fire district? If true, then since Port Chester covers Rye Brook as well as Port Chester 24/7, wouldnt they have to be a Fire District and not a Village Fire Dept.?

[ryefd192 2]

The Rye/Port Chester Explorer Post 700 has an antique hose cart that is housed in Port Chester. That is the only thing.

Port Chester covers Rye Brook under a 5 year fire service contract. There is nothing in state law to prevent a village from contracting out its' fire service or conversely from contracting for fire protection, as long as it has the agreement of the majority of the members of the department.

And everyone forgot about Marine 40 (currently changed form marine 10) It is housed in Fire Patrol & rescue house. aluminium v-hull boat. Is 14 ft with a 9.8 nissian motor.

very interesting about the ryebrook deal...do they have Captains or Officers???? NO Chiefs for RyeBrook???

[cas2383 22]

Rye brook does not have a cheif as the PCFD cheif presides over them. As for officers I think they may however I am uncertain. Hope that clears up one end.
