More information * This Mini Attack was stolen by a EDP/Patient from the hospital ! After an All Points Bulliten was issued on the "Hot line" for a File 1 - Mini Fire truck , it was spotted. A Police chase ended at Central Ave and Cross Street when the mini-attack hit a GPD car.

I remember this Mini Attack from years ago. It was Lime Yellow back in the 1980's. This vehicle was stolen from the Grasslands Reservation !

The catalytic converter location , a low point in the middle of the bottom of the vehicle and its very high heat contacting the dry leaves. Same goes when a vehicle is on its side - Hot ! Very Hot !

Thanks for sharing photos !

Resized for Remember585.

LDH 4" or 5" supply line. About two years ago an older member (now non firematic) asked me if that big hose was really needed? He honestly said "You are telling me fires are hotter than when I fought fires ?" I thought of furniture materals , double pane glass , ect .. and replied well "Yes"

How about Masters Department Store , pre Caldor. "Masters" was also on Rt 9a south of Lloyds Lumber. The site is now Greenburgh Multi-plex.

Thoughts and prayers to the family of Lt Yurista
