North Greenbush (NY) Opens New Fire Station

Posted: Sep 19, 2016

North Greenbush (NY) Opens New Fire Station

The North Greenbush Fire District opens a new Defreestville Fire Station, which has been 20 years in the making. The station is about a mile north from its original home on North Greenbush Road. It cost $6.9 million which was $500,000 under budget.

The 20,000 square foot fire station will allow the fire district to move its offices from the Wynantskill Fire Department to Defreestville.

"We're able to merge and become one fire district which not only reduced the tax burden on the residents in the town but also really opened up additional property sites that the Dreefeestivlle Fire Department could really look at. 20 years ago, the location we're standing in was not part of Defreestville Fire Department," said Daniel Garab, North Greenbush Fire Commissioners chair.

Vehicle Hits Ambulance in Melbourne (FL)

A Brevard County Fire Rescue firefighter-paramedic's head was sliced open when it struck and shattered a glass window during a vehicle-v.-ambulance collision Thursday in Melbourne, Fire Chief Mark Schollmeyer said. The paramedic received 17 stitches, was transported to Holmes Regional Medical Center and released shortly afterwards, Schollmeyer said.

The paramedic received 17 stitches, was transported to Holmes Regional Medical Center and released shortly afterwards, Schollmeyer said. He is expected to return to work next week.

Schollmeyer said the crash happened shortly after 10:30 a.m. at or near Fee Avenue Park. The ambulance crew responded from Fire Station 82 in West Melbourne to a medical call, and the patient was loaded into the back of the ambulance. The paramedic opened a side door to step outside — and that's when the collision occurred.
