🔥 Mutual Aid Incidents:

Tanker 7 and the members of the Banksville Fire Department have had a busy week not only in our district but around the county and neighboring districts! Below are the breakdowns of some of our recent prominent mutual aid calls.

- 01/13/2023 -
03:05:15: BIFD Was dispatched to Port Chester Fire Headquarters on a relocation of 1 Tanker to the village. Tanker 7 was standing by with a full crew with a Bedford Hills Fire Department Tanker while they operated on a water main break which was prohibiting the usage of hydrants in certain areas of their district. Not long after arrival, Tanker 7 was dispatched on a dual response with PCFD to a commercial alarm. Tanker 7 returned back to quarters at approximately 05:00.

06:01:05: Shortly after returning to service, Tanker 7 was dispatched mutual aid to Stamford on a fully involved structure fire. We provided 3 loads of 3,500 gallons of water in their tanker shuttle returning back to service at approximately 09:00. Definitely a long night for the tanker!

- 01/18/2023 -
12:00:24: Tanker 7 was dispatched mutual aid to Armonk on a 20x50 brush fire on I-684N. Tanker 7 hooked up to Armonk Rescue 85 and provided water while members fought the brush fire on the interstate where no hydrants are available.
