ENGINE GOES TO WORKING FIRE IN SALISBURY MILLS

     

Monday, September 12, 2011 At 1330 hours Orange County 911 dispatched Washingtonville with 1 engine automatic response to the scene of a house fire on Orrs Mills Road in Salisbury Mills. Due to some confusion on the initial alarm, Cornwall Fire Dept. was dispatched first. Washingtonville Car 4 (Hearn) who was in the area arrived with Cornwall units to find a 2 story home with heavy fire venting from the first floor.  E-582 staffed with 5 was on the street in under 3 minutes. E-582 arrived on scene with Salisbury Mills units just as Cornwall was advancing on the fire. With 2 engines on scene already E-582's crew went to work as a truck company on the 2nd floor. The crew preformed a primary search and opened up checking for extension. E-582 was released from the scene in just over one hour, but remained on stand-by for Salisbury Mills until shortly after 1600.
