Cold Spring Fire Company Obtains State of the Art Radio Equipment
The Cold Spring Fire Company recently obtained approximately $500,000 in state of the art radio equipment from the U.S. Military. The Fire Company applied for this equipment through the Commander of the Tobyhanna Army Depot, and the NY Agency for Surplus Property. They received assistance from Bruce Campbell of the Communications and Electronics Department at West Point, who coordinated the large transfer of surplus equipment between the West Point Logistics Operation Manager and the Tobyhanna Army Depot located in Pennsylvania. The Fire Company was eligible for this equipment because of its longstanding commitment to providing fire protection to Constitution Island.
