Heavy mutual aid from Rockland County to Greenwood Lake

[Capttomo]

Engine companies from Blauvelt, Central Nyack, Hillcrest, Nanuet, New City, Pearl River, Piermont, Suffern and West Haverstraw all sent to Greenwood Lake in Orange County where massive brush fire is threatening structures. This is the same fire that claimed the life of an 18 year old forest ranger yesterday

I know over the last week Westchester has sent over Buchanan, Bedford Hills, Somers, Katonah, South Salem, Montrose, Goldens Bridge, and Westchester Des Tech Rescue Team

Major response from multiple Nassau County departments, too. So far more than 30 Nassau County departments have responded.

From the Nassau County Fire Marshall's office:
"On Nov 13, the Nassau County Fire Marshal’s Office in our role as the County Fire Coordinator staged and escorted 5 fire departments from the Nassau County volunteer fire service embarked on their mutual aid deployment and the beginning of a three day deployment to Orange County to assist the Orange County fire service. We will be supporting them as they work in containing the wildfires in that area and assisting to protect homes and businesses that may be in danger from these fires. A total of 15 Nassau County volunteer fire departments will be sending Engine companies to assist today, Thursday and Friday. Today’s fire departments include the Manhasset Lakeville Fire Department, the New Hyde Park Fire Department, the Farmingdale Fire Department, the Bethpage Fire Department, and the Oyster Bay Atlantic Steamer Fire Company."

Nov 15: East Meadow, Franklin Square & Munson, Levittown, North Merrick, Woodmere.

Nov 16: Long Beach, Uniondale, North Massapequa, New Hyde Park, Glen Cove

Here is a copied message from the town of Warwick where Greenwood lake is located this message includes and is being updated
***Sterling Forest Fire Update***
5:30pm on 11/20/24

Today was the first day we all can take a slight sigh of relief. Although there is still an active fire within the park, we are confident it is not only contained, but fully manageable and will be extinguished soon enough. Tomorrow's weather will give us even more confidence as this situation gets wrapped up.

I wanted to take a moment to share and recognize the more than 200 Fire, EMS, law enforcement and state agencies from across 20 counties that provided fire suppression and public safety measures during the Jennings Creek / Sterling Forest Wildfire. I plan on personally sending certificates of recognition on behalf of the Town of Warwick to each and every one of these agencies and I encourage the public to consider sending letters of appreciation. MOST of these agencies are volunteer and even if they are paid agencies, they each put their lives on the line to assist our community. We are forever grateful for their support.

Best,
Jesse Dwyer
Warwick Supervisor

Great post Spartan! Amazing snapshot on the amount of mutual aid. I counted 218 fire companies from 19 counties from New York State alone. Tip o da helmet to all those that responded.
