Less than 5 years after the disbanding of the patrol formerly run by the NY Board of Fire Underwriters, the Fire Patrol has re-emerged as an independent "Not-For-Profit Corporation". It has already received IRS approval as a 501(c)3 charitable organization (meaning that the organization is tax-exempt and any contributions made to it are tax deductible) and it is awaiting certain enabling legislation that seems to have bi-partisan support in both houses of the NYS legislature, as well as by local and congressional elected officials. They are seeking funding from public and private grants as well as corporate and individual voluntary contributions.
A little bit down the road, they will be looking for both paid and volunteer help, both in manning the Patrol and for administrative functions.
The Patrol website with contact information is online at www.newyorkfirepatrol.com . Anyone interested in helping out can ask to go on the mailing list.
Their goal is to be up and running before the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
