Multi-vehicle accident with injuries

Sunday, December 13, 2009 12:20

A full Department response was requested by 60-Control for a multi-vehicle accident with injuries on the ramp (in the rear of the Eldorado Diner) from Route 87 to Route 119 and the Saw Mill River Parkway northbound.

Ardsley FD and Irvington FD were already on the scene, as they were in the area looking for other dispatched MVAs on Route 87 and the Saw Mill River Parkway.

Car 2112, E-137, E-237, L-55, U-86, 58B-1 and 58B-2 all responded.

A total of four patients were transported by Elmsford Fire Dept Ambulances to WMC for treatment of minor injuries.

The roadway, which was extremely icy and slippery, was eventually sanded and cleared of damaged vehicles, finally being opened to traffic after being blocked for a significant amount of time.

Good job done by all involved.

Our thanks to Ardsley and Irvington for their help!!!

First Route 87 dual response with Tarrytown Fire Dept.

Monday, November 23, 2009 15:08

Engine 137, Ladder 55 and Car 2111 were dispatched with Tarrytown Fire Department for a reported truck fire on Route 87 northbound near Exit 9.

The fire, which had been knocked down by Thruway Authority employees, was confined to the rear brakes of a flatbed trailer.

Both departments worked extremely together in exposing the still smoldering fire and extinguishing it with one hoseline.

Hopefully this is just the beginning of a good working relationship between the two departments.
