That's awesome!  Congratulations, and a big THANK YOU to the EMT's and firefighters, and all the other volunteers that make Fairfax such a great place!

The last time I rode in an ambulance was in 1995 - Maryann took two or three trips last year.  Hopefully I won't have to ride in this one, however Maryann and I have our $45 paid that will take care of anything our insurance or Medicare doesn't cover.  Not sure when our year is up on that, but hopefully they will let us know.

I try not to get too excited when John Workman or The Minor Boys get a new hearse - No big hurry in riding in that.

I might be wrong, but think the Calcutta tickets were for the Fire Department.

We do work together but are two separate agencies with different governing bodies.  Fairfax Fire is an entity of the Town of Fairfax whom answers to the Selectboard where as Fairfax Rescue is Incorporated operated by a board of directors.

FYI Henry, John's hearse is actually a very nice ride....

[Henry]

Yahhh Trevor, but I understand it is a one way trip.

It depends if you're ridin' shotgun or in the rumble seat.

now if you could only get the firefighters to give the rescue some room then they would be all set

Which of the towns fire trucks do you want out of the fire station to allow rescue, which is not owned by the town, to store their spare vehicle?

I think we should start pushing to get the KMC building for rescue.  Fix it up, clean up an eyesore, and give rescue a place with easy access to both Fairfax and Westford.

I do believe that there is an empty bay at the fire station while the fire dept waits for there new tanker. And I think that rescue asked to put it there for a short while and was turned down by the fire dept. Doesn't sound like they work together to me.

"I do believe that there is an empty bay at the fire station while the fire dept waits for there new tanker. And I think that rescue asked to put it there for a short while and was turned down by the fire dept. Doesn't sound like they work together to me."

Rescue needs more room, that is a fact.  The bay that is semi empty right now is waiting for the new tanker that has been ordered.  In my opinion the equipment that the taxpayers of Fairfax own have priority over anything else in their fire station. 

I completely support rescue, I will respond anytime they call for assistance, and will do anything I can to help them, except put a fire truck outside, or block one in with their vehicle.

I agree with 7F24, I too support the rescue squad and I am very thankful for all that they do.   I feel that the KMC idea sounds very logical and would allow the rescue to have  their own space and more of it, and at the same time making the 104/128 intersection look nicer.

now that would be worth donating time to right there
