TO BE WORKED ON:
The River Road Volunteer Fire Company Incorporated was the third of six fire districts created in the Town of Tonawanda, New York. The Town of Tonawanda, New York (Tonawanda (town), New York) is in Erie County of Western New York. It is bordered on the south by Buffalo and Kenmore (a village within the town), Amherst on the East, The City of Tonawanda on the North and the Niagara River generally on the West.
History edit
Started In 1929, it is the smallest district both in size and residences of the six surrounded by an industrial area on all sides.
Milestones edit
Due to extensive work by two of the firemen in the company Bernard S Misiura Jr (President of the organization 2008 - ????) and Jason Webb a Lieutenant (2008 - ????) a law was passed regarding membership limitations. This law was achieved with help from the honorable State Senator Mary Lou Rath and the Honorable State Assemblyman Robin Schimminger.
Specifically this law amends through exempting River Road Fire District #3 from subdivision 7 of section 176-b, of Town Law that mandates Fire Districts to have no more than forty-five Percent non-resident membership.
The Governor David A Paterson (David Paterson) signed this proposed bill into law on July 23, 2008.
