On Monday, December 26th at 09:29hrs Bedford Hills Fire – FAS Team was requested to respond to assist the Somers Volunteer Fire Department at the scene of a house fire on Barlow Ct.
Car 2033, Car 2034, Rescue 10 & Utility 6 with nearly a dozen Bedford Hills Volunteer Firefighters responded. Rescue 10 arrived as the 1st due Special Service/ FAS Team and completed a 360° of the structure, securing utilities and laddering the fire room/floor on both “A” & “C” sides of the structure.
The official press release from the Somers VFD has been attached.
Shortly after returning the quarters from the Somers Incident, Tower Ladder 57 was requested to Stone Hill Road in the Bedford Fire District for a reported chimney fire. Due to the limited access to the property Mini-Attack 9 and Utility 6 were added to the assignment. The fire extended to the roof area and walls, members assisted with mop up and overhaul.
