Sunday Afternoon House Fire in Croton Falls
By Lieutenant of Rescue Raymond Baker Jr.
July 1, 2018
At approximately 3pm on Sunday afternoon, Croton Falls Fire was dispatched to a reported structure fire on Daniel Rd. Upon arrival of 2071, a 10-75 working fire assignment was transmitted. This assignment brings many resources from Westchester and Putnam counties. With the transmission of the 10-75, Tanker 1 from GBFD was requested to the scene. Within 2 minutes of dispatch, Car 2141, Car 2143, and Tanker 1 were responding to the mutual aid request. With Tanker 1 being the first mutual aid unit on scene, they were put right to work supplying Croton Falls Tanker 88 (which was supplying the 1st Due Engine 148) Other Golden's Bridge manpower that was on scene assisted Croton Falls, Bedford Hills, Brewster, and South Salem manpower with fire ground operations throughout the incident. Manpower was rotated in and out fairly quickly due to the intense heat with temps close to 100 degrees. Golden's Bridge units were released by command around 4:30, and returned to Golden's Bridge.
