Welcome to EverythingCroton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
A kitchen fire broke out at the Van Wyck Apartments on Grand Street today. Thankfully, the fire was contained to the one apartment and no one was hurt.
What impressed us most, however, was how quickly the Croton volunteer fire department responded, as well as other nearby fire fighters from Ossining, etc.So hats off to you guys for another job well done!
