mfc, thank you for the info. I too was at work but heard it come in and i monitored it. That makes sense now, i know i heard R16 & MA8 on the air. I also heard that Somers & Mahopac Falls Dive Teams were on stand by. So i think R16 & MA8 were assigned to search the area around the Rt 134 bridge, while E270 was at the MVA scene. I was a bit confused, but it now makes more sense, so thank you!

YHFD was dispatched to a reported vehicle in the water (resevoir) S/B TSP. at the same time 60 control was reporting of another MVA S/B south of Rt.134 60 was asked by 2533 if they can find out if they were the same call. 60 (unable) 2533 asked to have Millwood FD dispatched to the seconded MVA. R16 & MA8/ Dive trailer and 2530 checked the resevoir and the roads under the bridge. Eng 270 contuined south to the reported 2nd MVA.

There was NO vehicle in the Resevoir.

Note: this was infact the same call.

YHFD would like to thank Millwood FD for there asst. And would also like to thank Somers FD for there asst.
