[quote="sirensupporter"]One reason I come down on the "pro siren" side: when I hear those sirens, I know to be on the lookout for speeding rescue vehicles, both the volunteers heading to the firehouse, and the firetrucks leaving the firehouse. Whether I'm driving or walking, I know to be aware that emergency vehicles are on the move.[/quote]

I just look at it like this, if it were my house burning down I would want the fire company there as fast as possible, and if it were a family or friend dying I would want the first aid just as fast.

I like the sirens, but then again I don't live right next to them.

The siren just amounts to noise pollution, which we already have plenty of from the busy roads around here.
Sorry but Plainsboro, and West Windsor still use them, the old air raid style like we used to have. Jamesburg also has sirens.

You're being silly.
I am most definitely not Richard Moody. I have lived in Cranbury for fourteen years and my daughter is an EMT with Cranbury First Aid Squad. She responds to calls using one of the pagers that the squad issues to all members. The pagers work fine.

Mr. Moody, if you're going to post under another name to make it look like you have support for your position you should try harder next time to use a language and style that isn't so easily identified as your signature, such as your unique use of the phrase "noise pollution." Nice try, but do better. It also undermines your supposed credibility as not posting anonymously though I can understand the urge to try and make it look like you have some support.
I am not B. Rogers who at least has the guts to reveal his name. Perhaps you'd be bold enough to reveal who you are?
And......on it goes.

Sirens stay

I spoke with a majority of the TC and their statement to me is they have discussed and the siren stays. That they feel public safety officials are best to determine the needs and means of response. So this topic should die.

I was interested in moving to this town until a few friends of mine told me to read this forum, and they were 100% correct when they told me that there were too many liberals in this town that lack common sense. Any town where the residents get upset over police, fire, and ambulance sirens to the point where they want to silence them is way too far to the left for me and my family to purchase a home there! As a resident of any town, I most certainly would want the EMERGENCY SERVICE responders to make as much noise as possible so any children would have ample warning to get out of the way, and also any elderly who may be behind on the audio scale! My father always said, the liberals will legislate and tax themselves out of their own homes if you give them enough room to do so!
PS: You can keep the excess supply of homes all to yourselves!
What a phony note!

I don't think Mr. Right Wing Out of Towner is a real person, just that same kid who loves to post things they know will provoke responses from people.
But if it's a real person, no loss. Most of the people in this town, right or left leaning politically, are smarter than to orient their entire lives around defining others as right/left or conservative/liberal. Most of us know and are friends with people in both parties. Cranbury takes all kinds, but if you're going to go around hating on people based on a label, please live elsewhere.

This guy is no Einstein. I don't care if s/he moves in or not.

funny, I thought the people complaining about everything on this board were right wing zealots. Glad another one isn't moving in.
