I ask our elected representatives to support a new engine company to protect the lives and properties of residents, students, patients, workers, and travelers in northwest Greenwich. Specifically, I ask the First Selectman and Board of Estimate and Taxation to appropriate funds to design and construct a facility on an expedited basis to house such a company, as well for hiring the necessary professionals. I further ask the Representative Town Meeting to do everything in its power to see that such a station is constructed.

I believe we are "one Greenwich" and that all residents deserve adequate fire protection regardless of where in Greenwich we live.
