  1. We had the car bear accident right in front of the former Whitey's garage last fall, bear was also a female weighed in over 300 lbs and to was killed.

    The thing that bothered me the most about it was all the yahoos taking pictures with it. One of the responding police agenices members was having his picture taken and I said I am sure your Sgt. will love to see these when they get posted on facebook or some other site, he dropped the bear pretty quickly and put his hat on straight. :blink:


  2. At around 2:13 am Amenia was toned out for a working structure fire on Smithfield Valley road off of Route 44. Upon arrival the officers knew they had to work fast to contain this fire to the back of the building which was already fully involved. ( the structure was an 1800 hundreds colonial house with 2 huge additions off the back of the structure) The first two engines arrived at the same time 31-15 and the brand new 31-11 the Chief immediately chose to attack this fire with the compressed air foam system on 31-11, and within minutes the fire was under control. We attacked the fire from the front door and within seconds we were able to enter the structure and push the fire back to its origin and completely extinguish it. It was an awesome stop and a great job done by all (at the scene Amenia, Wassaic, Sharon CT, Millbrook, Stanford,

    Millerton, and also Dover was on standby at Wassaic ). That was also 31-11's first structure fire for Amenia and it proved to be a wise investment for the district.

    Great job by all on the scene, quick and effective knockdown, I believe 69-31 arrived in between 31-15 and 31-11. The foam did a nice job for sure Joel although it got my gear nasty.
