Beautiful weather and a great turnout yesterday for our annual Open House!

While preparing for yesterdays event, members were dispatched to a motor vehicle fire around 9:30 a.m. Crews returned shortly after the Open House began and jumped right in to help welcome the community.

Families enjoyed truck rides, spraying water from a hose line, a bounce house, coloring books, and light refreshments. Visitors also had a chance to get a closer look at the gear and tools our firefighters use.

Halfway through the event, members held a live vehicle extrication demonstration, showing how firefighters stabilize a vehicle on its side, use rescue tools to remove the roof, and make room to safely remove a patient.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and spent part of their day with us. We appreciate your continued support and hope to see you back next Saturday, October 17, for our annual Backyard Blaze!

And for anyone else who may have missed yesterdays event, the Bedford Hills Fire Department is hosting their annual Open House today from 1:00-4:00pm.

Today, we honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the first responders who answered the call, and the countless families forever changed by that day.

Twenty-five years later, their courage, sacrifice, and legacy continue to live on.

Never Forgotten. 🇺🇸

Monday night, members of the Katonah, Bedford Hills, and Bedford Village Fire Departments came together for a joint training on motor vehicle fires at Katonah Fire Headquarters.

Using a box truck donated by Castle Towing, members completed multiple evolutions on our burn pad, focusing on hose-line operations, communication, and leadership. The drill also provided an opportunity to strengthen interdepartmental cooperation.

We’re always happy to train with our neighboring departments and take advantage of opportunities to work together, share knowledge, and continue building on our skills.

Thank you to Castle Towing for providing the box truck and helping make this training possible.

On Friday evening, August 7, Katonah Fire Department Tanker 6 and Car 2212 were standing by in Ossining during the Ossining Fire Department’s annual parade, alongside members of the Mt. Kisco, Piermont, and Spring Valley Fire Departments.

Shortly before 7:00 p.m., the standby companies were dispatched to a report of smoke in the structure at the Parth Knolls apartment complex on Hawkes Avenue. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered heavy smoke and fire conditions involving the roof of Building 1.

Car 2212 assisted with water supply operations, while Tanker 6 participated in a water shuttle supporting operations at the scene. Katonah personnel remained on scene for several hours, with Tanker 6 being released at approximately 1:15 a.m.

The Katonah Fire Department was honored to participate in the Tenth Annual Leary Firefighters Challenge held at the FDNY training academy at the FDNY Firefighter Training Academy ("The Rock") on Randall's Island on May 1.

The Leary Foundation, founded by Denis Leary in 2000 is the only foundation in the United States that provides annual grants to paid and volunteer fire departments for equipment, tools and training.

Captain Jason Lafond, Captain Ryan Hayes and Lieutenant Chris Langworth joined other participants and celebrities in various evolutions such as rappelling down a six story apartment building, working on a simulated subway car rescue, experiencing a flashover burn simulator, and participating in an airplane crash response simulation. FDNY instructors including active KFD members Mike Matteo and Anthony DeGeorge provided valuable guidance and instruction.

It was an exciting and amazing event and we were proud to be part of a very special day. We want to thank the Leary Foundation for their kindness and the FDNY instructors for their professionalism and making us feel at home at their academy.
