On Wed evening 3/4/15 at 6:15pm, Mohegan FD was requested mutual aid to the City of Peekskill for a working structure fire. Car 2262, 2265, 2269, 22610, and Engine 255/FAS-Team responded and operated on S. Division St in Peekskill at this working structure fire, which was quickly extending throughout the building. Originally on scene as the FAS-Team, Mohegan units went to work upon the arrival of Croton FD's FAS-Team. Members then split into 2 crews to assist Peekskill FD. One crew protected a medical office with 2 hoselines from Peekskill FD Engine 130, which prevented further fire spread. The other crew performed interior operations to check for further extension and overhaul. Once the fire was extinguished, Mohegan units assisted in packing ground ladders, both hoselines, and 500 ft of 5" supply hose back onto Engine 130, which placed this Engine back into service. All Mohegan units cleared the scene by 10pm. Also assisting Peekskill FD were Montrose FD, Continental Village FD, Buchanan FD, Croton FD, Verplanck FD, Peekskill EMS, and Peekskill PD

 
Units: Car 2262, 2265, 2269, 22610, and Engine 255/FAS-Team
