To the Editor:

Just to add to Nancy Aronson’s letter about the fire sirens on LBI (“Absolutely Necessary,” 8/29), she is spot-on about the need for them.

I have been a volunteer firefighter on the Island for many years, and am still an active member and responder. Our paging system now (Active 911), which is processed through our phones, is a great system, giving us vital information including, time, house address or location, nature andseverity of call, as well as hydrant locations all along the Boulevard.
