On Monday December 12, 2016 at 13:19hrs the Croton Falls Fire Department was dispatched to Mills Road for a reported utility truck rollover. Arriving units encountered a tree bucket truck that had rolled over onto the passenger side and became wrapped around a tree.

All occupants self extricated from the truck prior to firefighters arrival and there were no injuries reported.

Due to the trucks protective cage platform being wrapped around a tree, firefighters needed to remove the cage with a K-12 metal cutting saw prior to attempting to up right the truck. Mills Road was closed in both directions for 2.5 hours while Bryson's Towing up righted the truck.

 
Units: Car 2071, Rescue 28, MA-16, Engine 148, Engine 149, NSPD, WEMS 45M3, NSVAC (cancelled prior to arrival on scene)
