Chairman, Board of Fire Commissioners
Fall 2010 Newsletter
Friday, August 20th 2010
Here is a sneak peak at the Fall 2010 Greenfield Fire District newsletter.
Thanks to all who helped, it is quite lengthy and full of great information about all the great stuff our volunteers do for our community!
The newsletter is tentatively scheduled to be mailed in the middle of September - I'll try and post back with updates.
Download the newsletter here.
Any questions, just let me know.
Fire Instructor I Training
Sunday, February 7th 2010
I will be leaving for one week to go to the NYS Fire Academy in Montour Falls to take the Fire Instructor 1 course.
I will be gone for a week but will have access to voice mail and email - all urgent issues please see Commissioner Waite.
Any questions, please just let me know.
Acting Chairman Through April 2010
Sunday, January 10th 2010
I will once again be serving as acting chairman of the board of commissioners while the current Chairman is away on vacation.
There was substantial support from the officers and other members of the Board to support me for the actual Chairman position, and while I am very honored by this, I can not in good conscious take the position with my current workload.
I know that there has already been some big discussions around cost-cutting measures. The Board has been discussing this for a few weeks now and at the January workshop, we will be discussing some options we have been researching for a few months now - and I hope that this movement continues forward through the rest of the year.
Any questions, please contact me.
Training Laptop Anti-Virus Installation
Wednesday, November 25th 2009
At the November Commissioner's mtg we discussed the (*finally*!) delivered training laptops.
I will be installing anti-virus and configuring the laptops this weekend, in preparation to issue them to each fire company.
I'll post back here when that project is completed. In the meantime, any questions, just let me know.
Campaign Signs Are Out!
Tuesday, November 24th 2009
I completed the last round of campaign signs last night throughout the fire district.
Special thanks to everyone who helped out! It's very much appreciated.
I've had numerous requests for signs - which I'm very happy about, but there are plenty left - so feel free to ask me for one!
Completed Truck Company Operations Course
Tuesday, October 6th 2009
I have completed the month long
"Truck Company Operations" course.
Special thanks to the Mechanicville Fire Department who hosted the
course - and naturally, special thanks to Chief Myers from Schuylerville who taught the course.
For all my fellow firefighters, I strongly recommend taking this course - it was a great opportunity to practice a lot of the "basics"
that we tend to take for granted.
I also was asked to "teach" a drill regarding ladder techniques - basically to regurgitate everything that was taught in the course,
to my fellow firefighters who could not take it. I am glad to see that it was very well received and that I was able to help out
my teammates.
For those who are curious, you can find out more about what "Truck Company Operations" is all about via
Firehouse.com online training.
