From the Editor’s Desk Dennis Whittam, Editor
Happy New Year? I really don’t think that there is anyone who will argue that 2020 was a tough year. Many districts were forced to change the rules governing socialization in our second home. Departments were forced to change response rules so that the members were kept safe as they rode on the trucks or came down to the firehouse to respond to calls. Kudos to our commissioners and chiefs, who had a tough job keeping everyone happy, while keeping their responders Covid free. Yes, 2020 was a tough year. People lost family members and, in many cases, could not be with them when they passed away. Rules also limited the wakes and funerals for our loved ones. Hospital rules drastically changed, and patients found themselves on their own after they were dropped off at the hospital. Nurses and doctors became your family while you were there. Thank you to the dedicated staff at all hospitals who went way above their job description to help us get well. Are we going into 2021 with apprehension? Are you feeling that there was nothing positive in 2020 and the 2020 trend will con-
tinue in 2021? I personally had a lot of negative situations in 2020, but I learned a long time ago, to turn negatives into positive. Here are a few things I thought were positives that happened in 2020. I developed a new hobby: Gyms were closed, so I got out and walked eight to 10,000 steps a day with my camera and soon learned that nature is thriving. Wow, my fire photos were replaced with wildlife photos! We had major improvements in medicine. A vaccine for Covid-19 is here. Yes, researchers found a vaccine in record breaking time. I hope this research continues and we find cures for other disease such as cancer. We became innovated and our computer skills reached new levels. As I write this, my wife is currently teaching her students via Google Classroom. Our meetings are now commonplace using Zoom and Google Meet. Education has adapted to the dangers of Covid. We learned that if the classroom isn’t sanitized every day and if students don’t wear masks all of the time, the disease haunts and infects us. If I learned anything in 2020, I learned
that I must remain strong and excuses are not a way to overcome the negatives that are around us. Carry your positive thoughts into 2021. My favorite author was Mark Twain. He once said, “Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too.” You were given the skills to survive Covid-19 in 2020. You must set the example by carrying those skills into 2021. You are first responders. You have been trained to do whatever it is to get the job done! Enter 2021 as a leader. Carry out the rules that you now know will keep everyone safe. Stay safe in 2021 ... and Happy New Year! -Dennis

CFSI OPENS APPLICATIONS FOR LEADERSHIP AWARDS The Congressional Fire Services Institute (CFSI) is now accepting applications for the CFSI/IFSTA Dr. Anne W. Phillips Award for Leadership in Fire Safety Education and the CFSI/NFFF Senator Paul S. Sarbanes Fire Service Safety Leadership Award. Named in honor of Dr. Anne W. Phillips for her profound and enduring contributions to fire safety education, the Phillips Award recognizes individuals for outstanding achievements at the national level in fire safety education. It is named in honor of Dr. Anne W. Phillips who served on the National Commission on Fire Prevention and Control that published the seminal report, America Burning. Dr. Phillips wrote the minority report that called for greater federal awareness for public safety education. Established in 2007, the Sarbanes Award recognizes organizations that embody the critical goal shared by CFSI and National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF): To
ensure we do everything humanly possible to create an environment where EVERYONE GOES HOME at the end of every call. The actions and achievements of the recipient must address at least one of the 16 Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives developed by the American fire service during the 2004, and subsequent, National Fire Service Life Safety Summits hosted by the NFFF. CFSI and the NFFF named the award in honor of former Senator Paul S. Sarbanes, a former co-chair of the Congressional Fire Services Caucus and author of the legislation that established the NFFF. The award presentations will take place at the 32nd Annual National Fire and Emergency Services Dinner scheduled for April 29, 2021, in Washington DC.

Mahopac Falls Swears in Officers
The Mahopac Falls Fire Department became a reality 83 years ago.

Next came the Administrative Officers, who were also sworn in by past-Chief Sacher. With hopes of a better year to come, all officers took their seats and got back to the meeting. - Fire News photos by Jack Casey, PIO Co.19 MFVFD
The Woodstock Fire Department has taken delivery of a new fire engine. This apparatus was delivered on October 14, 2020, and concludes a five-year trial started in 2015 with the purchase of a used fire engine from the Hyde Park Fire Department. This new fire engine is a multi-purpose apparatus that performs the duties of two trucks and will respond both as a primary engine as well as a rescue truck. It’s estimated that this apparatus will save the fire district roughly $250,000 compared to the previous apparatus plan of having both an engine and a rescue truck. Six firefighters can safely be transported in a cab that’s designed to keep responders safe in the event of a rollover or accident. The truck features a 1000 gallon onboard water tank as well as Class A foam capabilities. The truck also has a 1500-gpm pump, the largest in the department. Firefighters have been training on the new apparatus since its arrival and placing the last pieces of equipment on it. The fire engine is now in service in the Woodstock Fire District. We would like to thank all members, officers, and fire commissioners that were involved in acquiring this state-of-the-art apparatus. - Fire News story by Chief Kevin Peters
