Rest in Peace Danny! We always had many laughs together especially riding in the ORU van to work a "few moons" ago. Remembering one occasion on the NYS Thruway riding just past the Harriman estate I woke you up stating "holy mackerel...look at the size of those deer". Only problem was that they were horses. You had to look two to three times to see that they weren't deer at all. Thanks too Danny for introducing me to a different style of softball down at the Blackrock fields...I was definitely not an arc ball hitter after playing fast pitch for many years. Also remembering you showing up unexpectedly at the house with a six pack...tons of laughs and tears flowing. RIP my friend!!

I smile when I think of Dan. Rest In Peace.

NYS Fire Coordinators

If you are a Firefighter in NYS, please read the message below, share this post to your NYS Firefighter friends and most importantly Complete the survey.... To all Fire Service Personnel Statewide Over the past several years, the volunteer fire service has experienced a significant decline in the number of volunteer firefighters. Staffing has fallen dramatically in recent years and has resulted in a diminished and crucial number of available personnel 24/7/365. The Fire Coordinators of New York State have recognized this and identified this decline in volunteers as the number one issue facing every volunteer fire department in NYS. In many areas of the state, the fire service is faced with a “public safety emergency”. Dropped calls, lack of qualified officers, understaffed equipment and delayed responses have resulted and are just some of the issues that are most disturbing and concerning. Although we realize there are many volunteer fire departments that are still high performing agencies, we obviously know that they are the exception and not the rule. The Fire Service Alliance is a working group of fire service associations which includes the Fire Coordinators’ Association, Firemen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY), NYS Association of Fire Chiefs (NYSAFC) and the Association of Fire Districts of NY (AFDSNY). This Alliance is focusing on various approaches to recruitment and retention as we address the issue of declining numbers in the volunteer fire service. Every fire service association has recognized and expressed the same concern regarding the lack of adequate staffing and is committed to working together to find solutions. We are compelled to look for a new model in providing emergency services to the State of New York. Tomas Rinaldi, the President of AFDSNY, said it best “We are not going to recruit our way out of this.” The first step in solving this problem is to accurately identify the scope of the problem. This can only be achieved through feedback from everyone involved. The NYS Fire Coordinators have been tasked with collecting current data but we need your help. Your input is valued. Therefore, we ask that you take a moment to complete the Firefighter Survey by clicking on the following link (Firefighter). Please submit your response electronically by October 31, 2018. All results will be used by the NYS Fire Service Alliance to develop a strategy and plan to address the on-going staffing shortage we are all faced with today. A preliminary report of the data collected will be presented at the Regional Fire Administrators Conference (RFA)(November 15-16, 2018). A final report will be presented in December at the Fire Service Alliance meeting.
