On 03/09/26 at 5:31 pm MVFD was dispatched to South Lake Blvd with Carmel Volunteer Ambulance Corp. and Carmel Police Department, NY for a reported child struck by a motor vehicle while riding a bicycle.
The subject was transported for medical treatment.

While operating at the bicyclist’s struck Putnam County Bureau of Emergency Services 911 and Carmel Police Department were receiving multiple calls at 5:45pm reporting a vehicle driving on the ice on Lake Mahopac with the vehicle eventually breaking through the ice causing the vehicle to submerge in the are of 228 East Lake Blvd.

Chief Trillas Car 18-1-1 who was operating at the bicyclist’s struck immediately called for mutual aid assistance from Mahopac Falls Vol. Fire Department and Yorktown Heights Volunteer FD dive teams, Carmel Fire Dept. NY and Putnam County Battalion Chiefs to respond to that incident. Chief Trillas then turned over command of the bicyclist struck to his assistant Chiefs Car 18-1-2 & Car 18-1-3 and responded to the water rescue incident.

Once the drive teams arrived Rescue operation immediately went into action in locating the submerged vehicle and gaining access to the victim. The victim was removed from the vehicle and transported for medical treatment.

Because of the extended operation time for the vehicle to be removed from the water Croton Falls Fire Department & Somers Volunteer Fire Department relocated to MVFD headquarters to assist with any additional calls in the district.

MVFD would like to thank all agencies that assisted in both incidents.

Major WSSI Forecasted in Orange, Rockland, Putnam, and Dutchess Counties on Sunday, February 22 through Monday, February 23, 2026

The Winter Storm Severity Index is forecast the major stage on Sunday, February 22 through Monday, February 23 in Orange, Putnam, Rockland, and Dutchess Counties. Expect considerable disruptions to daily life as there will be dangerous or impossible driving conditions and widespread closures and disruptions to infrastructure may occur.

Snowfall will begin on Sunday with 8-12 inches of snow forecast for Orange and Dutchess Counties, and between 12-18 inches of snow forecast for Rockland and Putnam Counties. Heavy, wet snow may add stress to structures and infrastructure that could lead to instability and collapse.

Avoid travel if possible. Expect delays and closures. If you can't avoid traveling: clean off your vehicle before driving, drive slow and don't use cruise control, leave extra distance between vehicles, and don't crowd the plows. Roads can be slick even if they just look wet.
Practice safe shoveling: dress warmly, stay hydrated, move only small amounts of snow, and take frequent breaks.
If you are stranded in a vehicle, avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by running the motor for 10 minutes every hour. While your car is running, open the windows slightly for fresh air. Keep your exhaust pipe clear of snow.

02/05/26. 7:00pm. Tonight we had a vist from Mahopac Central School District Lakeview Elementary School 1st grade teacher Ms. Jennifer Malley. Ms. Malley a long time friend and supporter of MVFD explained that she had the Lakeview 1st grade teachers and classes participate in the Great Kindness Challenge. This event gave the children a chance to show appreciation to various organizations in the community.

The children were able to put together baskets of quick on the go snacks and Thank You cards not only for MVFD, but also Carmel Police Department and Carmel Highway Department. We at MVFD can not thank the teachers, parents and children enough for always thinking of us. We are so fortunate to have a community that cares for the workers that serve them.
