FOIL provides the public with the right to access certain public government records. The New York State Legislature noted the purpose of FOIL, as specified in the New York State Public Officers Law, Article 6 §84:

The legislature hereby finds that a free society is maintained when government is responsive and responsible to the public, and when the public is aware of government actions. The more a government is with its citizenry, the greater the understanding and participation of the pubic in government.

Pursuant to NYS Public Officers Law, Article 6, §84, also known as the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL), requests for records to the Fairview Fire District under FOIL are to be made in writing.  The FOIL request may be printed out and hand-delivered, or mailed.

  Fees for Photocopies: Pages up to 9” x 14” are $.25 each of the actual cost of reproducing any other record.
