Shortly after midnight, the Croton Falls Fire Department was dispatched to a reported structure fire on Titicus Road. While en route, WCDES 60 Control advised Car 2073 of a barn and multiple cars on fire. Car 2072 was first arriving and transmitted a 10-75 for a 40' x 40' detached garage with heavy fire showing.

Ladder 67 arrived and stretched a 2.5" hose line to the fire building while Engine 148 arrived and stretched the 1.75" trash line to the vehicle fires and an additional 1.75" hose line to the rear of the structure. Engine 147 responded to the water source while Tankers 8 and 88 arrived and set up for water operations.

Croton Falls with mutual aid companies knocked down the fire and overhauled the structure prior to returning in service. Car 2071 held command of all companies operating on scene.
