Letter to the editor submitted by Monica Prihoda, RTM Old Greenwich District 6
To the Editor,
In light of this week’s head on collision between two school buses in the back country area of Greenwich, I am relieved that the Greenwich BET and RTM has approved the consideration of a much needed fire station in the Northwest corner of Greenwich.
The Greenwich Time front page (4/7/19) featured an article on “Fire station faces battle.”
I sincerely hope not. What is a safety issue for the common good of all Greenwich residents has somehow become a hot potato political issue.
How can that be when time – seconds and minutes – is of the essence in arresting a fire and – in the case of back country car accidents -the fire trucks also carry “the jaws of life” that can save lives by extricating persons trapped in a vehicle.
Let’s set misguided political agendas aside and maintain a nonpartisan focus on what will keep Greenwich residents safe.
Respecfully yours,
Monica Prihoda
