MONROE COUNTY AFDSNY COMMISSIONER TRAINING CLASS
The association wants to thank the Brighton Fire Department for hosting today’s Commissioners education session and to Association leadership and staff who supported this event making this another outstanding session.
We also want to recognize today’s Instructor Attorney Ray S.DiRaddo Esq. for leading today's commissioner’s training. One of Ray's specialties is municipals law with a concentration in Fire District Law. Many fire district officials around NYS regularly refer to the Ray's yearly updated “New York Fire District Officers' Guide” which is a great reference resource for fire districts to own. The New York Fire District Officers’ Guide provides information to guide fire district officials how to remain in compliance while performing all of their fire district management duties. The Association is sure that the quality education training that today’s 45 new or reelected officials from six different counties received will serve them and their communities well in the coming years.
