On Monday, November 9th, Katonah fire was dispatched to a reported brush fire. After an extensive search, the fire was located on Cedar Road South. First arriving units called for mutual aid tankers due to the rapid progression of the fire. Tankers from Golden's Bridge, Bedford Hills, Somers, and South salem were called in. In addition, multiple engines, brush units, and mini-attacks were used, due. Westchester County PD provided air support, giving progress reports on fire containment and extinguishment. Tanker 1 spent its time on scene supplying MA-9, which provided water to approximately 1000 feet of forestry hose, and lighting to a staging area.
