Chief Morgan's Reply

April 9, 2009

Mr. Rosenberg

I recently received your package of paperwork, including the complted Civilian Complaint Form I sent you, on or about 2 January 2007, regarding your complaint. I certainly appreciate all the time and effort you have expended documenting this issue. I have reviewed your entire package of documents and photo exhibits and have taken note of those specific issues pertaining to the Providence FireFighters stationed at Engine Company 4, on Rochambeau Ave. I have spoken with  the chief of tthe Department about this issue, and we have taken measures to try and limit the siren use in your area. We have also made a point to inform all of the Officers permanently stationed at the Rochambeau Avenue FireHouse of your complaint. They have been instructed to be extra cautious when the weekly trash is put out, so as not to let any loose rrefuse articles blow freely in the wind. They have been instructed to be good neighbors, and to clear the snow from the city sidewalk as soon as is practical. They have also been instructed  to always operate their fire-truck in a safe manner during their mandatory daily performance operations, and to do so in the shortest possible amount of time, so as not to waste fuel.

As for your request for personal information, I am not legally permitted to divulge personal information  of those indiviuals stationed at the Rochambeau firehouse or elsewhere.

I can assure you that the firefighters are now fully aware of your complaints and I have directed that they be respectful and courteous to you, and all citizens, at all times. They have been instructed to immediately call for a police officer to respond if they find themselves before you. Again I thank you for bringing this matter to my attention.

Sincerely

Michael Morgan
Investigative Chief Officer
Providence Fire Department
