PLUMSTED Two members of the Plumsted Police Department and one member of the township’s Emergency Management Office have been involved in rescue efforts in New York City in the wake of last week’s terrorist attacks.
Pete Weinrich, director of public safety for the township, said Sgt. Robert Pintye, and Lt. George Titko of the Police Department volunteered their personal time with rescue and relief personnel in Manhattan last week.
Lt. Titko spent part of Thursday, Sept. 13, and Friday in New York, while Sgt. Pintye, a certified EMT, volunteered with his dog, Max, on Sept. 12, Mr. Weinrich said. Sgt. Pintye returned to New York on Tuesday, after his night shift with the Police Department, he said.
Linda Salcfas, Plumsted’s emergency management coordinator, said many residents came out to help after the attacks in any way they could.
She referred to the aftermath as "a very long-term incident" and has asked that residents continue to be available to offer any assistance they can, if called upon to do so.
