Emergency service grant is unveiled

SCHUYLER LAKE — Joined by members of the Schuyler Lake Volunteer Fire Department, Sen. James L. Seward (R/C/IOneonta) recently announced that the 2009-2010 state budget includes, at his request, $15,000 to help with construction of a new fire station.

``Volunteer departments like Schuyler Lake work hard to protect our community and are in need of the proper tools to get the job done,’’ said Senator Seward.

``The senate funding will help with the construction of a much needed new fire station that will enhance life saving services in rural Otsego County, and improve safety for our first responders.’’

The senate funding will help fund construction of a new fire station for the Schuyler Lake Fire Department. The building will replace the current station constructed in 1949.

``We greatly appreciate the support from Senator Seward,’’ said Schuyler Lake Fire Department Chief William Peters. ``The new station will be better equipped to meet the demands of modern firefighting, allowing us to continue providing vital emergency services to the community.’’

``First responders need the right tools for the job to properly and safely protect our residents, homes and businesses. I am glad that the senate could assist,’’ Seward said.
