Mahopac Falls Fire and Fire Police were dispatched to Rt 6N between Potter Road and Luccaro Lane for trees fallen across the road, that had taken wires down starting a brush fire. This being one of the numerous weather related calls that put many Police and Fire agencies throughout the county on the road because of the high winds. Fire Police detoured traffic around the active fire scene as firefighters took on the brush fire. Capt. Jason Stasiak was Incident Command and put a call out for NYSE&G, whose response time was terrific. Motorists are reminded that when they see Emergency vehicles to please SLOW DOWN for the safety of the First Responders on the scene.

As always, thank you for your support of the Mahopac Falls FD, hope everyone is safe and healthy.
