At approximately 10 PM last night, the Elmsford Fire Department was called out to a structure fire in at 88 North Goodwin Avenue just north of White Plains Avenue in Elmsford. Arriving fire crews witnessed flames coming through the roof. As hose lines were stretched from hydrants to the trucks for water supply, an aggressive interior attack of the fire was mounted by fire crews while a 10-75 was broadcast across the County from the Richard A. Flynn Fire Training Center’s 60 Control, the radio operations arm of that facility. Elmsford firefighters, battled not only the fire, but the cold weather and difficult conditions. They had the fire knocked down and the scene under control approximately 20 minutes after their arrival. No injuries were reported. Numerous fire departments assisted including Irvington, Tarrytown, Ardsley,Valhalla, Hawthorne, Fairview, and Hartsdale.

Police Assist Tarrytown Worker at Reservoir

At approximately 11:00am Thursday morning, Tarrytown Police and Fire Departments were assisted by the Irvington Fire Department Dive Team and the Greenburgh Police with a water rescue at the Tarrytown Lakes. 

A Department of Tarrytown Parks and Recreation employee was clearing snow off of the ice for the anticipated ice skating on the lake this weekend when the tractor-plow he was operating fell through the ice. The tractor and the operator were submerged in the frigid water. 

The tractor fell through the ice approximately 250 feet from the shore. The depth of the water where the employee was submerged is unknown. The operator was able to self-rescue and walked to shore. He was in the water approximately 10 minutes. The unidentified worker was taken to the hospital and treated for hypothermia. Responders stabilized the vehicle in the water and ice and helped direct the recovery of the tractor from the water without further incident. Stiloski’s heavy duty tow truck/wrecker assisted.
