Insurance dispute over firehouse custodians drags on in Hoollick Falls
In Hoollick Falls New York a long running insurance and employment dispute involves seven paid firehouse custodians who also serve as volunteer firemen. The village board seeks clarity on coverage for firefighting injuries and whether caretakers must choose between paid village work or volunteer status. Village attorney Ralph Sternberg has ordered custodians to select one role, prompting questions about legal authority to bar dual work with the private volunteer company. The issue hinges on workers compensation and insurance coverage for injuries sustained during firefighting activities.
