COUNTY. If Allegany County had one it was not on the news !!!

County advertised however, there was not a burn ban advertised for Allegany County. These property owners had every right to burn on their property without the harassment of the fire department or being harassed by the lady that stopped. These property owners should file harassment charges on this lady. If she had stopped me on my land she would not have walked away. Farmers have a reason for burning on their property and if more people would take pride in there property this would be a much nicer state and county. It is fireman like you Lucas Greene, Nicole and Joshua that give the fireman a bad reputation. You drive around with your little lights and big antennas and act like you are state police. None of you have probably worked a day in your life and will soon be living off the rest of the working folks in this county. In Saturday’s Times Herald this was a burn ban for Catt.

When you attack one firefighter, you attack us all. We put our lives at risk everyday to save your property and family, yet you still act like we are a nuisance. Just remember that when you or your family needs help.

Being that there was a burning ban in Allegany County you would have gotten a very hefty fine. These people put their lives on the line day in and day out to keep your community safe and this is how you treat them. If you were in my fire district we would have done the same this and put it out and made sure you could not have relite it. It only takes a split second for a controlled grass fire to get out of control and light the entire green field up in flames. This just goes to show the true ignorance of people in the community. If you dont like the way things are run get off your ass and join the department and try to change it. First of all you are pretty lucky New York State Forest Ranger did not show up.

That's when the sparks flew. I turned my back on her and she proceeded to drive over to my husband and get in his face. I don't know any man who would allow someone to talk to their wife like that wouldn't take it personally when we are on our own property. We pay a hell of a lot of taxes and I don't care if you are a volunteer or not you don't stop at someone's property and act like that. When I asked to please leave she should have left not continued on picking a fight. She should be dealt with. When Mr. Beaton showed up he was very nice and professional and is the way a volunteer fireman should act. As for the assistant fire chief, I know there have been no problems with her and I have always respected her for all the work she has done for the fire department however; that ended this weekend.

I indeed did listen to this call, and I do know of the person who called this fire in. According to the person who called it in, the owners of the property were the ones being rude and swearing at the Bolivar Fire Personnell on scene before 911 was called, not the other way around. I will admit it, there was people at the Bolivar Fire Department who thought that there was a burn ban in Allegany Co. Myself being one of them. I also listened to the radio in the fire hall very closely. Echoing what Debbie said, Dispatch did tell Richburg 5-03 that there was a burn ban. However, I do not know the ending story about what happened, nor am I going to try and find out. That is county's mistake, and it happens. No one is perfect. Any member of fire personell that comes upon a scene that looks like it could be out of controll, or looks to have the potential to get out of controll, will most likely report it. Such as the case with what happend this past weekend. And as far as "Miss Assistant Fire Chief" goes, I do know the Fire Chief in which you are refering to. I happen to not have any problems with this particular fire chief, and I am sure that If the Richburg Fire Company did see a problem with their Assistant Fire Chief, that they would take care of it in an appropriate manner. In addition to the Assistant Fire Chief that you are bashing, there was also 2 other chiefs at this particular incident from Richburg, and one from Bolviar. (Correct me If I am wrong Debbie, I don't know if Mike was there or not. But, I do remember hearing 5-02 and 5-03 respond) So, before you bash the Fire Personnell that respond and risk their lives to try and save other peoples lives, homes, and personal belongings, think what would happen if they weren't around to help you if you ever need them. If you still don't think any better of the fire personnel, then I am sure that the Richburg Fire Company would like new volunteers. As for Bolviar, we encourage any person that will walk through the door to grab an application and apply for membership. Hello everyone of Richburg!

Yes, common sense would have told any fireman that this was a controlled fire. It was a Bolivar fireman who called it in in the first place from what I gather. The Richburg Fire Chiefs were only doing their job to follow through with contacting 911 to see if there was a ban. Again, this is all a miscommunication and to see people post comments like the fireman were using taxes unwisely and not responding to structure fires as quickly as they do a controll burn, and she should have her kindergarten diploma revoked are uncalled for. As for my response, I am a dedicated EMS member and no matter what feelings I may have for those who say neg things I would still respond and do my job as professionally as I could. My job is to help save lives and help those in need. We do appreciate all you have done for us and the setting up of the web site. It was greatly appreciated. I am not responding to cause more neg, I am writing to have all the neg stopped and be greatful for what we do, not what has been done.
