Recycling Firm Donates Car for Blue Point FD Training Efforts

Gershow provides a vehicle for extrication exercise.

Gershow Recycling donated a vehicle to the Blue Point Fire Department for an extrication exercise the firefighters performed on August 22.

The exercise was filmed for an episode of “Firehouse Kitchen” that is scheduled to air on WLNY-TV 10/55 on October 27 at 11:30 a.m.

Hosted by Joseph Bonanno, former New York City firefighter and author of “The Healthy Firehouse Cookbook,” “Firehouse Kitchen” explores the reality of being a firefighter by bringing together two powerful elements of their lives: food and their heroic lifestyle.

During the exercise, firefighters extricated a “victim” from a car involved in a “crash” using the “Jaws of Life.”

And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloatedRead More system. Every year the school districts on Long Island receive increases of millions of dollars to their budgets, and still they want to bleed the taxpayer for more. As two income families struggle to pay exorbitant tax bills, we’re asked to pay even more? We’ll here’s a novel idea, how about if the teachers union’s began demanding less? This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must. Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are. To blame parents for not paying enough into the system to support the schools is ludicrous. The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.
