Randall (Randy) Rider's Groups

My Training:: Interior FireFighter, Safety Officer, Fire Investigator. Many N.Y.S. training courses as well as federal. Advanced C.I.S.M. Peer Counselor for Western New York.

About Me:: Current Fire Commissioner, also Ranking Safety Officer. Have been Interior fire fighter for entire time with the department (39 years). Recently completed training at NYS FireAcademy for fire investigation. Have been a Public Safety Dispatcher for over 21 years.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: The old cliche, just wanted to serve my community. Also carry on family tradition, four generations.

Why I Love Fire/EMS: The feeling of knowing that i have been able to get my crews home safely after all calls.

Top Issues Facing Responders:: Dwindling numbers in the volunteer sector. Also critical political issues in New York State regarding special interest groups trying to dismantle fire districts. New York state is in dire need of continued funding for the training of our fire fighters. Until we stop re-electing our slate of politicians in Albany, things will only get worse. Same of our reps in Washington. The lies just don't end.

You know when I need encouragement and are there when it becomes a little too overwhelming. You absolutely inspire me to be a better person.
