Great Northern Pizza - A Special Thank You to this local Company, who not only purchased and has renovated the former Bushnell's Basin Fire Station on Route 96 into another of their restaurants, but for their Company sponsoring a Special Tasting Night this past weekend, which allowed people to get to know this restaurant, while donating monies back to the Bushnell's Basin FD. Not only does this company have a Quality product, but they want to support our local Emergency Services.

Who is your Patient - With the arrival soon of better weather, many people will be out enjoying nature, by walking, biking or other activities. For those patients who are often found unattended, without identification, the task of getting information and notifying family is made much more difficult. Please set a example in the Community and always have identification on you whatever you are doing and encourage others to follow your lead.

Monroe County CAD Project - Vendor Presentations - The five (5) companies that meet the criteria set by the 911 Center to develop and produce the next Computer Aided system will be providing Vendor presentations to allow any one associated with Emergency Services to view, review and comment on these system.
