Just before 11AM on Wednesday the 25th, Bedford Hills FAST along with multiple Mutual Aid companies were dispatched to Goldens Bridge for a reported structure fire in a private dwelling. On the first alarm BHFD responded with 11 FAST members, Car 1 (Lombardo) and Car 2 (Nickson). Once on scene the crew split into two parts, one to act as a FAST unit and the other went to work. Initially firefighters were faced with heavy fire conditions in the basement extending rapidly to the main floor of the house. Members stretched a second hand line, gained access to, and knocked down the bulk of the fire in the basement as other firefighters worked the main floor. |
