At 0230 hrs. we were dispatched for a Structure Fire. Upon arrival Chief Churchill 17-1-2 confirmed the fire and requested mutual aid from several departments for Tankers to respond. Our first due engine 17-2-3 stretched two hand lines and operated its deck gun to knockdown the fire. Due to the residence being empty the fire had consumed most of the structure before the fire was reported. Units operated for 3 hours in the freezing temperatures until the fire was fully extinguished.

 
Units: 17-1-2, 17-1-3, 17-2-3, 17-4-4, 17-3-1 & 17-7-1
 
Mutual Aid: Kent 16-1-1, 16-4-1, 16-3-1 Brewster 11-1-2, 11-2-5, 11-4-1 Carmel 12-4-1. A tanker from Mahopac & East Fishkill
