The Pound Ridge Fire Department is proud to congratulate Christian Brogle and Alex Wolf-Cynamon on completing their New York State Firefighter 1 certification.

The Fire 1 curriculum, Basic Exterior Firefighting Operations (BEFO), Interior Firefighting Operations (IFO), and Firefighter Survival (FFS), runs over 150 hours of demanding hands-on and classroom training. Christian and Alex tackled it in an accelerated format that packed all of that into a little over a month. What makes it even more impressive is everything they were juggling at the same time. Christian balanced the college coursework while also working full time. Alex is in the middle of a big spring earning both his Fire 1 certification and, in the coming weeks, graduating from high school.

We’re extremely excited and proud of the effort these two young men have put in, both inside and outside the firehouse.

Last night, the Pound Ridge Fire Department had the opportunity to conduct realistic training at an acquired structure.

Members ran a scenario simulating a vehicle that had crashed into a building and compromised the building’s structural support, with multiple occupants pinned and in need of extrication. Before any rescue could begin, crews had to stabilize the structure and gain safe access to working on the vehicle.

We’re grateful to the members of our community who continue to make these structures available to us. Many of them are slated for demolition, and the real-world, hands-on experience our members gain in training scenarios with them is truly invaluable. This kind of training simply can’t be replicated, and it translates to better service and safety.

This past Tuesday, June 3rd, members of the Pound Ridge Fire Department were proud to march in the Annual Katonah FD parade. Thank you to our friends in Katonah Fire Department for the invitation and for putting on a great event.

A big thank you as well to our members who put in the time marching and working to get the trucks cleaned up and parade ready.

Another Successful Suzanne Grant Foundation Day with the Fox Lane Junior Class

On Wednesday May 20th, members of BHFD teamed up with Bedford Fire & EMS, Mount Kisco Fire & EMS, KBHVAC and Pound Ridge Fire for the Suzanne Grant Foundation Day, which was held at the Bedford Fire Department. The agencies collaborated together for the Annual Event with the Fox Lane Junior Class and ran the approximate 30 students through several different scenarios and drills. An EMS Station, Hose Stretching exercise and Hurst Tool Jenga rounded out the events that were done with the students. Thanks to the partnership with the Suzanne Grant Foundation and Fox Lane High School all the agencies mentioned have benefited from the event and gained members these past couple of years from students who took part in the event.

Thanks again to C2041 and the Bedford Fire Department for playing host to this event again this year. We look forward to the 2027 Suzanne Grant Foundation Day.

🚨✈️ Pound Ridge Fire Department Announcement ✈️🚨

The Pound Ridge Fire Department would like to thank the hard work and dedication of our newest truck committee members as we proudly introduce our new Tanker 3 replacement.

Don’t worry, we’ve already downloaded Flight Simulator and will be conducting flight training during Monday night drills. We’ll be ready for our first mission before you know it… “yanking and banking” to a wildfire near you. 😎🔥

…

April Fools.

On a serious note, a New York State burn ban is currently in effect. Let’s all do our part to keep real air tankers grounded this season by minimizing wildfire risks:
• No open burning
• Dispose of smoking materials properly
• Stay mindful in dry conditions

A little prevention goes a long way in protecting our community.

Please consider supporting David Burgess…

David has always been there for our community, volunteering his time to help others, and now he’s facing an unimaginable loss with the passing of his wife. This fundraiser is just getting started, and sharing helps so much in these early days. Even if you can't donate, a quick share can help it reach people who may be able to support him during this difficult time.

The funds raised will go directly to help cover end-of-life expenses, easing some of the financial stress so David can focus on grieving and healing. Please consider donating or sharing this with others who might want to support him. Every bit of kindness makes a difference. 💙🙏
