• Air Quality Alert issued June 4 at 11:56PM EDT by NWS Upton NY
    The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for the following counties: New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens, Richmond, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam. from 11 AM to 11 PM EDT Thursday. Air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than an Air Quality Index value of 100 for the pollutant of Ground Level Ozone. The Air Quality Index, or AQI, was created as an easy way to correlate levels of different pollutants to one scale. The higher the AQI value, the greater the health concern. When pollution levels are elevated, the New York State Department of Health recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health effects.

Disasters & Emergencies

Emergency Preparedness should always be a concern, especially when it comes to an evacuation. If an evacuation is called for, either voluntary or mandatory, you should evacuate. In this day and age there is no reason for hurricane related deaths. Should you stay, please notify family members of your choice as well as the Fire Department. During extreme weather conditions it maybe come difficult to respond during certain weather conditions.

Should you decide to evacuate, please consider taking the following: Deed to house/property, insurance information, birth certificates, passports, keys, photo albums. Back up computer information to CDs. Most importantly, make sure your cars have a full tank of gas and that you have cash on hand. Turn off gas and electric. If need be, board up windows. Write this list down, add items to it you feel are necesary and keep it on file.

Should you decide to stay, have another list on file. In addition to the above, you need to be well stocked on non perishable foods and water. Have a gas or coal BBQ. Have buckets available to store water for bathing. Matches, candles, batteries, radio. In addition to your car, make sure you have gas for your generator.

The Missing Monument

The Missing Monument

 

 

Being part of a close knit organization that has its roots deep within the community for well over 100 years you’re bound, from time to time, to come across some history.  When I joined the Fire Department 25 years ago, they were starting to design an extension on the current headquarters to house the new ladder truck. During this time, the department’s 100th anniversary was quickly approaching. As the days went on, historic relics of the Bayport Fire Department’s past emerged. Old radios and helmets, fire nozzles and antique extinguishers, and a vast collection of journals and photographs. As the extension neared its completion, one of the members delivered a beautiful stained glass window that was saved from the destruction of the old firehouse and it was installed in the new extension. The department also set out on a quest to find and restore its first hose cart from 1891. While they lost the trail, they were able to find and restore a duplicate.
