Around 10:30 this morning, Car 2082 was flagged down for a motor-vehicle accident at the entrance to Half Moon Bay, where a vehicle struck the Hudson House building. A Rescue Matrix was dispatched bringing the Croton-on-Hudson Fire Department, Croton EMS, an Ossining EMS Paramedic and Croton Police to the scene.

Members arrived and quickly stabilized the vehicle, shut down electric & gas to the building, secured a positive water source, stretched a precautionary hose line, stabilized the damaged overhang with Paratech struts and checked the building for any additional damage.

Nearly three dozen members from all five companies turned out and operated for nearly three hours. The vehicle was removed by A&P Towing and the building was turned over to Village of Croton Building Department and Half Moon Bay Property Management.

The driver, whom experienced a medical emergency setting off this chain of events, was able to escape the vehicle and was taken to an area hospital for evaluation by EMS.

On scene were: 2081, 2082, 2083, E118, E119, E120, TL44, R18 & U14.

FROM THE CROTON FIRE DEPT. FB PAGE----Five years ago today, one of the largest fires in our department’s history occurred at Discovery Cove on Half Moon Bay Drive.

The fast moving, gas-fed blaze on one of the hottest and more humid days of August that year resulted in a 4th Alarm equivalent response, bringing over 100 firefighters from over a dozen local fire departments.

The coordinated, organized response kept the blaze confined to one condo and caused minor damage to one other.

Units operated at this blaze for nearly eight hours, and would once again “go to work” later that evening at a separate 2nd Alarm fire on Birch Court in the Village.
