By Firefighter/EMT 081
April 16, 2012

At 1836hrs on April 15th, Yorktown fire was dispatched to a possible rubbish fire behind a home on Quaker Church Road. Car 2531 and Engine 273 signed on responding.

A neighbor arrived on location and updated 911 that the structure was also on fire at this time. Almost immediately, Car 2531 arrived on location and updated units that the fire would be on the "Charlie" side of the building, and would be extending into the structure.

A 10-75 was transmitted, upgrading the alarm to a working structure fire, bringing in Yorktown on a full assignment, Bedford Hills' FASTeam, YVAC and the 34-Medics to the scene, while an Engine from Somers and a Ladder from Mohegan stood by at Yorktown Station 1. Crews stretched to lines into the building and around the rear, while opening up the roof to knock down any hotspots.

Bedford Hills split their team, and assisted Yorktown in overhauling the structure, once the situation was deemed under control. All units cleared the scene at 2016 hours.

Units: Engine 273, Engine 272, Ladder 51, Rescue 16, Engine 270, Car 2531
 
Mutual Aid: Bedford Hills FAST, Relocated Somers Engine, Mohegan Ladder
