So, after some careful consideration, I have decided to consolidate the two platforms plus my Twitter feed into this one new place. There will be a few changes though.

Traditionally, I have limited the posts to incidents where a department within the Smithtown Township or Village of Lake Grove respond. I have decided to take it a step further and try something new by adding working fires that occur throughout Suffolk County. I started this with 2021 (Still adding them) as well as those that have occurred thus far in 2022.

My websites have never been for profit and I spend quite a bit of my own time and money to purchase and maintain the equipment for all of the live feeds and for the website hosting. I do not have the money to pay for photos but I am always happy to provide a link to where to buy those that I do use from those of you that make money doing that.

I have added the ability for you to view the incidents by Township or by month/year. The live streams look different but they work fine. I am in the process of upgrading some of the equipment in an effort to improve the stream quality.

In closing, this is an ongoing project. I have thousands of additional incidents to backload and then I have to add thousands of photos, videos and news clippings. If you see a post on here that is incomplete or inaccurate that is because I am still connecting all of the dots. PLEASE comment on the post or email me anything you have and I will make the corrections.
