At 8:14am, Tanker 8 was requested to Pound Ridge for a working house fire on Salem Road. While Tanker 8 was assembling, an additional four tankers were requested by Pound Ridge Car 2401. Tanker 88 was added on the box and responded shortly after Tanker 8. Car 2073 arrived and assisted with fireground operations while Tankers 8 and 88 were handling water supply. While fire suppression efforts were in progress, it was determined that hazardous materials were inside the structure prompting all firefighters to exit the interior immediately. Units on scene continued to operate under the direction of WCDES Hazmat. CFFD units operated for one hour prior to being released by the 13th Battalion.

Thank you to Mahopac FD for standing by in Station 1 while CFFD units operated.
