Call 911.
If you use your home phone they will know where you are calling from. Just ask for help.
The fire departments and rescue squads are all-volunteer and both departments are searching for new members. There are two simply to enable local reponders to get to the scene as fast as possible. If the problem was, for example, at the Ausable Club and the only fire department was in Keene, the response time could be quite long. Some volunteers would have to drive to Keene to get a truck, for example, then drive to the Ausable Club.
Police respond to 911 as well. Our Town is covered by the State Police Troop B in Ray Brook. They can be reached at: 518-897-2000.
The Essex County Sheriff's Office has some role too. The Sheriff is a county job mostly focused on enforcement of civil court processes but you see them doing traffic stops and road blocks as well. For example, divorce papers or an auto repossession might bring the sheriff to your door. But the Sheriffs big budget item is running the new jail. It was recently finished and built to handle 120 inmates but it typically nly has about 50; look here at their monthly report. NYS prison populations peaked in 1999 and the State is closing prisons. The County was ordered to build a new prison but it appears somehow we built a really big one. Here are press releases about arrests and crime in the county (not a lot).
Wait...
