Aviation 3 is reopening ???

'Chief' Romeo Toro was a member of the Valhalla Volunteer Fire Department in Westchester County in 2008. He was suspected of stealing equipment and applied to a volunteer department in Long Island. The Westchester COunty Police arrested him and he took a plea of 3 years probation on a misdemeanor charge in 2009.
 
There was a community board meeting that the 3rd batt was attending. They had a file with complaints from surrounding companies. Some were poor rig placement, responding way out of their response area and beligerant and disrespectfull behavior towards members and officers of all ranks of the fdny.
 
The engine they are operating was recently purchased from a PA vendor.  It was traded by a company in my department that recently placed a new rig in service. It is a 1989 ALF
 
New York City fire protection is bravely provided by the FDNY. No other assistance is needed from any other organization or group.  If a civilian wants to help hump some hose into the lobby for a top floor  6 story H type fire so be it. your help is appreciated since our Door Man has now been removed from all of our engine companies.  Volunteers provide a admirable service to communities that do not have paid fire protection. In nyc this is not the case so thanks but no thanks.

                                             
 
These clowns, along with the Bronx Volunteer Fire Patrol, should be locked up for interfering.  There are many ways to volunteer and help your community.  In the Bronx, there is no place for a volunteer fire service (EPVFD no withstanding).  We operate as one big unit and this gang doesn't play by our rules.  Have you looked at a map, they're plenty close to 96&54, along with a short drive to 64&47.

Let Cassano send them a formal letter to cease response operations and then lock them up next time they buff a run.
