The cause of a fire that broke out at a concrete plant and contractor’s yard near the Cortlandt Train Station in Montrose Saturday afternoon is under investigation. Firefighters had to decontaminate from chemicals after battling fire in Montrose.

The two-alarm blaze at Dakota Supply Corporation on Albany Post Road began around 12:30 p.m., with flames and heavy smoke visible for several miles. Dozens of firefighters from the area, including Montrose, Buchanan, Verplanck, Croton and Yorktown, responded.

“The fire was completely extinguished using foam provided by Westchester County’s Special Operations Unit and the VA Hazmat Unit,” said Cortlandt Supervisor Dr. Richard Becker. “We are grateful to our first responding firefighters who responded so quickly and professionally to this serious event on a winter’s day.” MORE AT Cause of Fire at Concrete Plant in Montrose Under Investigation | The Examiner News
