Yonkers - Multiple Jobs Friday Night in OMDs

4 posts in this topic

Below I posted a link to a Journal-News story about two fires in Yonkers Friday evening. The first was reported about 8 PM in a fourth floor apartment in a six-story apartment building on Caryl Avenue in the southwest part of the city. This fire went to two alarms. Two firefighters also suffered some injuries.

Around 9 PM a second working fire was responded to, on the east side of Yonkers in a Bronx River Road apartment building and also involving a fourth floor apartment.

It sounds like YFD did their usual good job.

I'm sure they were stretched very thin by these two incidents and I'd really like to know how they juggled the assignments and etc. As a Yonkers resident I really take my hat off to the commanders at these incidents who can figure out how to accomplish all that they do.

Great job guys!

For some reason I can't get the edit function to work. But the first fire was reported at 7 PM not 8 PM.

However, I'm not sure.
