Today at approximately 1400hrs we responded to W Brookside and Hickory Grove Dr for reported vehicle into the brook. Arriving on the scene we found one occupant still inside the vehicle and immediately began rescue operations. Crews work quickly to stabilize the vehicle before cutting the windshield out to remove the occupant. The occupant was transported by @larchmontvac to an area hospital for treatment.

This morning at approximately 0215hrs @larchmontfire_l895 transmitted a 10-75 (Working Fire) at 40 Ocean Avenue in Larchmont. Town of Mamaroneck Firefighters immediately responded with Engine 51 and Rescue 6 (FAST). Firefighters worked quickly to expose and extinguish pockets of fire. The fire spread rapidly leading to the evacuation of structure and a change in operations to an exterior attack. Members supplied @newrochellefirefighters Ladder 12 with water and manned exterior hose-lines. The Town of Mamaroneck Fire Department returned to service after operating for nearly five hours on scene.

Thank you TMFD for all of your work to help contain this fire. Glad no one was injured.
Today at approx 0930hrs we responded with @villagemamkfd to I95 Northbound for a tractor trailer fire. Upon arrival 2231 confirmed a fully involved trailer. First due engine arrived and began to knockdown the fire. The vehicle had a ruptured saddle tank which had ignited forcing us to switch to Foam operations. @villagemamkfd quickly implemented their foam line to finish extinguishing the ruptured tank.
On Tuesday night in conjunction with @larchmontvac and Town of Mamaroneck Police Dept we headed to @badgerdaycamp to conduct water rescue training.
We conducted several extensive hands-on training scenarios covering the recovery and packaging of a drowning victim as well as donning our water rescue suits to preform more technical rescues.
Big thank you to @badgerdaycamp for allowing us to use the facility.

Of critical importance to maintain this level of training. Well done. While uncommon, incidents do occur even in well managed and prepared facilities. About 50 years ago I witnessed a drowning in that pool. Never get complacent.
TYFYS everyone
Yesterday at approximately 14:10 @port_chester_fire was dispatched to Costco on Westchester Avenue for a reported smoke condition inside near the meat department. First due units arrived on scene and determined this was not smoke and was a large Freon leak from one of the refrigeration units on the 2nd floor. A 10-75 was transmitted assigning #TMFDFAST and additional resources from Purchase, Rye, Rye Brook and Mamaroneck Village to the scene. TMFD members staged on the second floor of the building while Firefighters conducted searches of the bundling and members of the County Hazmat Team attempted to mitigate the source. Once the situation was under control Rescue 6 was used as a cascade to fill all SCBA bottles used during the incident, after operating for approximately 2 hours we returned to service.

Thank you for the assistance yesterday!
Over the weekend the Town of Mamaroneck Fire Department and @larchmontvac hosted first aid training for the Larchmont and Mamaroneck Girl Scout Troops.
The scouts were taught what to do when they call 911, how to handle medical and traumatic emergencies, how to build their very own first aid kit, and given the opportunity to explore the ambulance and fire apparatus.
#girlscouts #cpr #firstaidtraining
We enjoyed teaching the community how to stay safe and sharing awareness about what we do.
With warmer weather here, we look forward to
engaging with the community more! Thank you for
the cookies!
Over the past two days we have been fortunate to train on an acquired structure in our response area. Members practiced first due Engine and Truck company operations during multiple scenarios simulating a fire on the 2nd floor and the attic of a 2 1/2 story peaked roof private dwelling.
Big thanks to Dan Murray @fireendandcroker @lion_firegear for letting us demo the BULLSEYE™ DIGITAL FIRE EXTINGUISHER TRAINING SYSTEM Can’t day enough about this system. Next best thing to a live burn. Interactive, Responsive and easy to setup.

In the wake of major fires that caused loss of life or significant property damage, Westchester County Executive George Latimer and the Department of Emergency Services are providing residents with practical tips on how to prevent fires and increase the odds of survival if one occurs.
Latimer said: “In recent months, our County has experienced a number of major fires, including several that resulted in loss of life. We extend our deepest condolences to those who lost loved ones. The staff at the Department of Emergency Services has prepared an important fire prevention and safety video. It provides practical, valuable information on how you can prevent fires and how to protect yourself and your family should one occur.”
In a newly released safety video, personnel in the WCDES Fire Services Division focused on three critical safety messages:
• Get Out, Stay Out, Call 911 immediately. Do not re-enter a burning home or apartment once you are out safely. Fires can double in size every 30 seconds. Stay outside and let responding firefighters know if any persons or pets are still inside. Report any fire, no matter its size, immediately so help is on the way promptly.
• Close the Door. The simple act of closing the door to a room where a fire has broken out can save lives and significantly reduce property damage. A closed door limits the supply of oxygen to a fire and prevents the rapid spread of deadly smoke and flames. If you have to flee from a fire, close the door as you leave. In apartment buildings or office settings, this includes closing the door from a hallway to a stairwell.
• Handle Lithium Ion Batteries Properly. Lithium Ion batteries that power cellphones, laptops and other devices are an increasing source of fire in Westchester and elsewhere. When these batteries are not charged, stored or handled properly, they can overheat and cause a fire. Do not leave lithium ion-powered devices on fabric surfaces such as pillows, beds or couches.
DES Deputy Commissioner Susan Spear noted that more practical tips on fire prevention and safety are available on the DES website: www.emergencyservices.westchestergov.com.
Thank you to County Car 24/DFC James Cuffe for the use of his video from the test burns.

The National Weather Service (NWS) has designated March 14-18th, 2022, as Flood Safety Awareness Week.
If you know what to do before, during, and after a flood you can increase your chances of survival and better protect your property. For instance, it is vital to know what to do if you are driving and hit a flooded road. The TMFD wants to prepare residents with information describing the different types of flooding and educational safety material.
A flood WARNING means TAKE ACTION. A flood WATCH means BE PREPARED. When a Warning occurs, it means flooding is imminent or already occurring. When a Flood Watch is in effect, it means flooding is possible in your area.
Don’t underestimate the power of water. It only takes 6 inches of fast-moving water to knock over and carry away an adult, and 12 inches to carry away a small car. Turn Around Don’t Drown!

Congratulations. The emergency services community commends you on a job well done!!
