At 7:07 this morning, the Chappaqua Fire Department was dispatched to a motor vehicle accident in the area of Wagon Road Camp on Quaker Road. Upon arrival, Chief Zezze (2062) upgraded the alarm to a confirmed working car fire with negative entrapment. Chief Eiden (2061) arrived on scene and assumed command, with Chief Zezze remaining in charge of operations. As a precaution, the Chappaqua Fire Department also requested the dispatch of Millwood Fire Department, bringing additional resources to the accident. On scene were Chief Santone (2253), Chappaqua Rescue 23, Chappaqua Engine 146, and Millwood Engine 247, while Millwood Engine 248 and Chief Rodrigues (2251) remained in quarters to cover Millwood and Chappaqua fire districts in the case of another alarm. Using water and fire suppression foam from all three apparatus, firefighters were able to put out the car fire and keep it from spreading in the woods. The driver luckily was able to self extricate with minor injuries and was taken (as a precaution) to Northern Westchester Hospital. The roadway was opened approximately 90 minutes later with all units returning to service. We would like to thank , and for all their assistance.

With the heavy snowfall this weekend (and possibly more next weekend!), we just wanted to remind everyone to please help out your local fire department, and if you have a fire hydrant on your property, please be sure to shovel around it! In the event of an emergency, it can help save valuable time for firefighters to gain access to water. Thank you for always helping and supporting our community!

While standing by during Winter Storm Fern, Chappaqua Dept members practice skills on using a RIT pack and firefighter CPR. Two very important skills firefighters need to assist each other during entrapment or a medical emergency.

Firefighter and Patrol Company President/Life Member Erik Nicolaysen was honored earlier this week, receiving a Congressional Commendation for his national service as a veteran as well as all of his local service. Erik not only served his country during the Korean War, but afterwards, served the town of New Castle through his service as both a volunteer firefighter and a member of the Chappaqua Volunteer Ambulance Corps () Thank you, Erik, for your service and dedication— this was a well deserved honor!
