From a Friend of Union Fire Company

This is from a Supporter of Union Fire Co. who had some rather revealing things to say.

In defense of Union Fire Company, the facts must be stated about the uncaring attitude of the "Township" toward the residents and business that Union serves. Prior to Irene coming to our area. The "Township" wanted to move Union's equipment away from their station. This would leave that area unprotected. Of course, then State Road, Wicker Avenue, Station Avenue and many other streets flooded stranding residents. Then the clearance of the higher Hummer chief's cars were used to rescue many residents and stranded automobile drivers. There was a wedding that evening at Pen Ryn that evening. They experienced flooding, which left guests stranded. Thank Chief Jerri for not moving the equipment, those trucks/hummers became shuttle buses to the "Township" shelters which they did not have open! Many people walked to the station and their shell shocked faces were instantly relieved to find Union open and someone there to help them. Before anyone talks about closing Union, think of the people who live there (Union was established years ago because a house burnt to the ground due to flooding and the fire equipment could not get there!) All of this negativity must stop. Union is there to serve their residents. Let them do the job they volunteer to do!


I was able to confirm what this person said in more ways than one. According to what I learned, NONE of the township shelters were open when they were supposed to be, and yours truly learned from another township resident, that when their friend needed to locate a shelter via the police department, the officer on the phone told the person they didn't know where the shelters were!! Freddie Boy, Your Incompetence Is Showing!! If ANY of this is incorrect, I CHALLENGE FRED HARRAN OR HIS FLUNKY, PAT PONTICELLI TO........

PROVE ME WRONG!!!
