Report: Copenhagen requests fire department to hand in equipment

LEWIS COUNTY- The village of Copenhagen, NY has asked its fire department to start handing in their assets and equipment by late next week.

In the latest updates from WWNY-TV, village lawyer Candace Randall claims the board of trustees passed a resolution that resulted in a letter being sent to the fire department.

In that letter, the village requests for members to hand over their equipment within the next ten-days. The village board voted in late September to dismantle their fire department.

According to sources, a public hearing has subsequently been set for Monday, November 14 that will focus around a fire contract with Rutland.

The meeting is aimed to begin at 5:30 p.m.
