Do you actually believe that this decision does anything to promote “safety”??
No. I’s copying and pasting what the local papers said in their articles. Not being there and assessed of the whole problem, I am not qualified to make that decision. It is their responsibility. I just displayed what I saw and read.
But if the flags haves caused some problems, to my knowledge the fire departments of the upper state NY areas are city/state employees.They fall under state jurisdiction.
