WHY should you properly dispose of your unused prescription drugs?
___________________________________________
Keep Our Waterways Clean!
New York Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and many other scientists have found traces of pharmaceuticals in some of New York’s waterways and even ground water.
Do not flush unwanted medications down the toilet. This leads to the wastewater treatment plant, and eventually, our waterways.
Reduce Prescription DRUG ABUSE, Especially Among Teens
More teens abuse prescription drugs than cocaine, heroin, or methamphetamine combined. Teens say the prescription drugs are widely available from a variety of sources, including their home medicine cabinets, and those of friends and relatives.
Reduce Avoidable, Poisoning of Children and Pets
Taking your drugs to a collection box is an easy way to keep medications away from kids and pets.

As you go through your day please take a moment to remember Ex-Chief Peter B. Lund who gave his life in service of his community while battling a blaze 13 years ago today. May his memory and his legacy never be forgotten.
I remember that night. It was the end of Yom Tov. I was proud to stand outside that church on Shabbos for him when they held his service. He was a great guy!
One of the best...RIP
A good man who dedicated his life to helping others.

A group shot after services for Honarary Chief Rodney Herris.
L to R. Brian Byrnes, Ex-Capt Bruce Raskin, Ex-Chief Ray Grawin, Ex-Chief Donald Metzler, Ex-Capt Dwain Fager, Dennis Rein, Ex-Capt Stephen Wolf, Ex-Capt. Tom Antony, Ex-Chief George Laakso, Ex-Capt Nicolas Maiorino, Ex-Capt. Willaim Hempstead
These guys have been serving our community longer than I've been alive. Back in the day, there was a sense of emotional fulfillment that came with belonging to this brotherhood of public servants. It was never about money. The camaraderie within the FD back in the day, was much more pleasant than it is now. The men pictured here are my heroes...and over the years, they've been heroes to thousands of others. I've learned so much from each and every one of them because they teach and lead from their experiences. They are pure strength. They offer hope when all else has failed. They deserve our utmost respect. Thank you for posting this picture. I love them all.
That's Ex-Chief George Laakso, not Dick Grover who wasn't even there.
Great group of men. My condolences on their loss of Rodney.
Such a great group of gentlemen
That is ex chief George Laakso not Mr. Grover
Great group...
