Tanker 10 to Bedford Hills Structure Fire
By WECO Reporter
May 8, 2015
Not more than 10 hours after Croton Fire units operated at our own house fire, we were called in to action once again. At 12:10 PM, Bedford Hills FD transmitted a "10-75" (working fire) for fire in a two-story stone structure in the Kasho Orthodox Community. With limited fire hydrants in the area, their Incident Commander requested four Tankers to the scene, of which Tanker 10 was one of them.
Three minutes later, T10 was on the way, bringing a crew of four firefighters to the scene. The BHFD made quick work of the fire, which started on the exterior of the building and spread inside. Members of the CFD crew stretched a secondary hose line from BHFD Tanker 5 to hit hot spots outside on the deck.
Croton personnel were released from the scene around 2:20 PM. In addition to the 4 members on scene in Bedford Hills, an additional crew remained in our district for Engine 119 at Station #2.
