From: Josh Karpoff <jkarpoff@crotonfd.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 2, 2022 2:09 PM To: Bryan Healy <bhealy@crotononhudson-ny.gov>; John Munson <jmunson@crotonfd.org> Subject: CFD Annual Fire Fair - Sunday, October 2nd Manager Healy, As you might be aware, the Croton FD has for many years held an annual Fire Fair to further our fire prevention outreach to our community. We would like to formally invite yourself and the members of the Village board to this year's Fire Fair. It will be held on Sunday, October 2nd, tentatively scheduled from 1PM to 5PM, at the Harmon Firehouse. On a logistics side of things, there are a couple of items I'd like to ask of you: 1) Permission to request "No Parking" signs from CPD for the parking lot behind the Harmon Firehouse, for the alleyway at the Harmon Firehouse, for the section of Wayne Street between Benedict Blvd and Clinton Street, as well as the section of Benedict Blvd between South Riverside Ave and the dead end adjacent to Wayne Street. 2) Permission to close the following from 7AM to 7PM on October 2nd: a) Wayne Street from Benedict Blvd to Clinton Street, for pedestrian safety for some outdoor activities. b) The parking lot behind Harmon Firehouse, for additional outdoor activities, such as fire extinguisher use demonstrations. c) The Alleyway at the Harmon Firehouse, for additional outdoor activities, including grilling free hotdogs donated by Shop Rite for all of those in attendance. We would also like to continue our tradition of rewarding the kids for successfully completing all of the Fire Prevention safety activities, with rides on our fire apparatus, along Benedict Blvd., with some moderate use of lights and sirens for the enjoyment of the children. As always, we will be providing one member in addition to the apparatus driver to sit in the back with the children to monitor their safety and make sure they are safely seated and buckled in at all times the apparatus is in motion. Drivers will of course follow all vehicle and traffic laws. We will also be in touch with more formal communication to the public that we'd like to use to promote the event in the Village newsletter, Village social media and on the Public Access TV channel. Last, could you please provide me with CPD Chief Nikotopolous's email address, so that we can formally invite CPD to participate in the event with a table and/ or vehicle display, if they so choose. We have already invited our colleagues at Croton EMS to participate. Do you think that any of the other Village Departments, like DPW, Recreation or Engineering might want to have a table and/ or demonstration that would be related to public safety? If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. --Josh Karpoff Joshua A. Karpoff 1st.
