At 3:20 PM Wednesday, Croton Fire was dispatched to a Harmon Park residence to assist Croton Police and EMS with an investigation of a possible chemical release. On the initial dispatch was E119, E120, R18 & U14 from the CFD as well as the Montrose VA Hospital Fire Department with their Hazardous Materials unit.

Car 2082 (A/C Munson) made contact with Croton Police and determined that this would be a somewhat extended incident, and placed our remaining units (E118 & T10) on standby. 

Making contact with the VAFD, additional EMS was brought to the scene to standby, and a hose line from E119 was stretched to assist with “Gross Decon” of members entering the “Hot Zone.” Additional CFD personnel helped secure a perimeter and acted as a RIT while Hazmat conducted their investigation.
