Good evening Residents & Members,

I hope you all enjoyed your summer as we come into Labor Day Weekend with some beautiful weather in the 70s for the forecast.

And as we are all our aware, its time to go back to school! We hope all of your shopping is done.
As we say in our service, when school's open, drive safely please. Some schools have opened, others on Tuesday/Wednesday of next week (8th/9th).

Just as important, wewant you to know that our Emergency Responders, either in our personal vehicles as well as Emergency vehicle, have to obey any and all NYS DMV Laws as well, and are not exempt from any law. We stop for all school buses when lights are flashing, including divided highways. If we are in Emergency Mode, with lights & siren, we train our drivers to stop ✋️ until the school bus driver makes sure the kids are safe, whether its picking up and/or discharging students. We will watch for the bus driver to wave us on when its clear, as they're trained as well for these reasons. And we will only go through when its clear, without endangering the general public as well, without putting anyone in harms way.
In closing, we'd like to wish you all a very happy & safe Labor Day weekend! Blessings to all of you! 🙏 Be Safe.

We will keep you all up to date with the holiday events approaching next month with dates & times.

Stay Safe.
Chief Brian Dingee.

This after slightly after 430pm we were requested to Relocate with our Tanker to Pleasant Valley station 2 for standy coverage in their District. Pleasant Valley was operating @ house fire @ 71 Albrecht ln.Along with other Mutual aid departments per their 2nd Alarm assignment.

Upon relocating we were advised by 911 to Re- direct to the scene per Pleasant Valley command.Upon arriving about 20 minutes later we were released along with other Tankers to Return to quarters.
Therefore we were not needed but in this business as they say get em on the road if not needed you can always return them better to be safe than sorry.

Good morning Residents,
I would like to Thank our members as well as our Mutual Aid Departments for coming out on Wednesday evening as we ran a Tanker Shuttle drill.

Special Thanks to East Clinton,Pleasant Valley,Red Hook as well as our Tanker .Objectives were met with draft site filling them up shuttling water to our Station 1 with porta Tank set up dumping and going .We also had Draft site set up out of Porta Tank running 2 hand lines ,along with Master stream going meaning Deck gun all@ the same time.

Some of members have never witnessed this so it was educational training them to many as well.Our geographic area is All about Tanker operations. We do not have True Hydrants like some villages surrounding us.We rely on Mutual aid Tankers for water supply.We have 4 Dry Hydrants in our District that we pull from capable of flowing with 6 inch Suction capable of flowing 1250 Gallons per minute for Drafti f out of ponds and or lakes we rely heavy on in the event of.These dry Hydrants get back flushed every 3 months pushing any sediment around them away below Frost line of 3 ft.Therefore they dont freeze up in Winter time.

Also special thanks to Fire Police members directing traffic on West Meadow Brook ln.Turning tankers around getting them filled and guiding them backing up after dumping and going.Mission accomplished 👍 Again Thank you to All Involved.

Good after Residents especially those that we serve in our District boundaries.S tarting on Monday of this week each day as we are taking each and every vehicle for NYS IINSPECTION . Well on Monday July 13th the driver whom took 1st vehicle over to Vankleecks tire advised going over he had unfortunately smelled Antifreeze .

Upon his arrival there sure enough he now realized Antifreeze leaking out from underneath and notified me immediately. Upon him returning as I was currently there @ Station awaiting his return .The leaking was still continuing @ in which @ that point I placed Vehicle out of Service immediately and notified our Vendor known As Hopewell Fire Apparatus which is located down on Rt 82 In Hopewell. Unfortunately he was down in Armonk doing other repairs and Advised me he would be up 1st thing on Tuesday morning in which they were for Several hrs.And Repaired District Apparatus and road tested after etc. to run it making sure issue resolved in which it was.

My point being we've been a customer of theirs since 2000 and over the year's they've treated our District well with providing great Quality Service.Not only are we fortunate to have such a great vendor our Taxpayers as well should be grateful as this is another example of your Fire Taxes you Pay go towards for Repairs.

In the 26 years as our Vendor to us His Honesty ,Quality Service Loyalty to our Fire District has been nothing less than Exceptional and not 1 time back for same Issue regardless.
Its been a great deal of pleasure working with them personally when needed I couldn't be any more Grateful and as our Board of Fire Commissioners as well appreciating your Quality Service .

Thank you Chief .
Brian Dingee.
