Wait juuuuuust a minute here. Are you trying to tell us that a dept in Westchester County handled a building fire without ANY mutual aid to the scene?

It's amazing what you can do with an excellent recruitment and retention program, along with excellent training. I'm presonnaly not familiar with Buchanan, nor this particular fire for that matter, but all I have to say is good job to the BFD!

[STAT213 332]

Agreed, huge kudos to them.

See folks, it CAN be done.

Hopefully it was an exterior operation only - No FAST

Uh guys, it was a Garage and detached at that, not a PD or OMD, relax!
