I don't live too far and the smoke is visible for miles. I took a ride by and just an impressive volume of fire there.

I'm still seeing tweets, fb posts, and ipn text about 10 missing FFs here. I heard a couple hours ago everyone was accounted for. Any info?

Glad to hear that. As great as instant online communication, texts, FB, and twitter is sometimes only the bad info gets disseminated (FFs missing) well after the situations has been resolved. I'm still seeing twitter posts about Cornwall FFs missing being sent from across the country.

Glad to hear that... Long day for them especially with the weather conditions. Stay safe all, especially at fires like this one..

Wonder if they've considered bringing in the bulldozer / track-hoe to raze the burning buildings? Got to be tough out there in the dark and with these temperatures.

Stay safe!

Are there any departments from dutchess there or on standby

[conman 40]

No they're mainly from orange with one from rockland

[38ff 250]

Suprisingly, not one company from Ulster going for stand by either.

[SmokeEatter40 8]

Plattekill has not been moved up to CVFD or Orange Lake?

[38ff 250]

Not that I heard.

[conman 40]

I haven't hear them get moved up either

Rockland County sent one pumper from Stony Point to cover for Highland Falls and Fort Montgomery.

[AndyC3J 190]

Still rotating different departments in for relief crews as of this writing. I believe there are only three battalions in the county that have not been involved in some way.....yet.

[SmokeEatter40 8]

Anyone still up and monitoring the scanners? Is this contained yet? And now I hear there is a water main break at the scene.

[SmokeEatter40 8]

Thanks AndyC3J, Its getting cold all right. How are they keeping our guys warm? Rehab?

[peterose313 345]

sounds like various units are going back in service now.
