1st FASTeam Call of 2018: Ossining
By CFD FASTeam
January 4, 2018
After some snow and blistering cold winds hit our area on Thursday, the Croton-on-Hudson Fire Department was dispatched Mutual Aid to Ossining for an active house fire.
Ossining's Bravest was sent to a home on Beach Road in that village's north end for a reported "problem with a fireplace." Units arrived and found an active fire in the chimney that was also extending into walls and ceiling on the second floor. OFD Car 2331 then added our FASTeam to the assignment, bringing Car 2081 (Colombo) and Engine 119 to the scene with over 10 members.
The OFD made a quick stop of the fire, while also battling the brutally cold weather. The Croton units were returned to service just under an hour after dispatch.
Units:
2081, E119 w/ FAST
Mutual Aid:
Ossining FD Full Assignment, Ossining EMS, WCDES Battalion 12
