Dear Sir/Madam:
The Southold Fire District Board of Fire Commissioners have been informed of Peconic
Landing's intentions to expand their current medical facility and are concerned with this
proposed expansion until Peconic Landing has fully looked into providing emergency
medical services for their residents.
Fire and emergency medical services for Peconic Landing are provided by the Greenport
Fire Department under contract with the Town of Southold's East-West Fire Protection
District. The Greenport Fire Department is a volunteer organization. Emergency
ambulance calls at Peconic Landing has not only placed a burden on the Greenport Fire
Department's ability to provide emergency medical services but also upon the
neighboring fire departments that are called upon to provide assistance for coverage.
This proposed expansion will only increase this burden.
The Board of Fire Commissioners would like Peconic Landing to lessen the burden
placed upon the Greenport Fire Department's volunteer emergency medical personnel as
well as the neighboring fire departments personnel. The Board requests that you exhaust
every possible means to determine how Peconic Landing could provide their own
emergency medical services.
erely,
CY M?filer '
