The incident was originally dispatched further south on the parkway within the Mount Kisco Fire District, additional calls updated the location to just south of Green Lane in the Bedford Hills Fire District. Units arrived on scene within 3 minutes of the original dispatch and located a well involved motor vehicle. With the parkway completely closed, Car 2032 (Nickson) advised Bedford Hills units to respond northbound in the southbound lanes from Kisco Avenue.

Working together, BHFD and the Mutual Engine and Hose Company extinguished the motor vehicle fire within minutes.
