The Members of the Garrison Volunteer Fire Company are deeply saddened by the tragic house fire that occurred early yesterday morning on Sherwood Road in Cortlandt Manor.

​Our hearts and deepest condolences go out to Westchester County Correction Officer Gregory Toone, his wife Yenny, and their entire family following the devastating loss of their two children, 17-year-old Alina and 15-year-old Jeremiah.

​We also want to acknowledge the valiant and exhausting efforts of the Lake Mohegan Fire District, and all the mutual aid departments and EMS agencies who responded to the scene under incredibly difficult conditions.

​A GoFundMe campaign, "Supporting Officer Toone After Tragic Loss," has been established to help the family with medical bills, funeral expenses, and temporary housing as they navigate this unimaginable tragedy.

​We ask our community to keep the Toone family, their loved ones, and the entire Cortlandt Manor community in your thoughts and prayers. If you are able to help out, please consider donating at the link below.
