That;s where are tax $ go, we have a volunteer FD that cries poor every year but yet they have $ to go to Baltimore. Very bright Mr. Fire Commssioner - you have your crew come over every year crying for donations - not this year pal. Here is where we do not have accountability but simply more expense. Last year we payed for new trucks(which the old ones were no more the 5 years) renovated fire hoses with granite counter tops. Oh they also have wet bars!!! Not bad... I constantly see fire trucks thru Hempstead Tpke with kids inside the trucks as if they werr going on a joy ride. My taxes at work. We need to consolidate ALL fire departments in Elmont and get a REAL paying fire department with ONE COMMISSIONER. Recently I was in the City, and saw the Elmont Fire Chief SUV in Midtown, WTF was he doing there? What waste. The Fire Commissioner in NYC does not take his SUV home, OR DOES HE? I DON'T SEE THEM (NYC FIRE COMMISSIONERS) GOING TO THERE FRIENDS HOUSE ON EVANS AVE EITHER. OUR GAS, WEAR & TEAR... WE SERIOUSLY NEED CHANGE - PERIOD. Now we will get some idiot to say we are DEAD wrong. I will take pictures the next time. A whole shit load of Elmont residents do not even realize what really is going on in the FD. What a patronage mill - just like the TOH.
