Scarsdale assisted with pump operations training at the Career Fire Academy on Friday. Our two probationary firefighters, along with 38 other recruits, are learning how to determine pump discharge pressures by calculating the effects of various types of friction loss, elevation, and nozzle requirements. The calculations learned here set the foundation for providing adequate water streams to overcome a growing fire. Westchester County Department of Emergency Services

Firefighters stopped by the high school to support the Scarsdale Student Government’s carnival fundraiser. We had a great time meeting members of the community, giving tours of our ladder truck, and playing a few carnival games!

This past week, Scarsdale firefighters read to students of the Edgewood Elementary School. Firefighters chose fire service-related children’s books from a collection curated by the school’s librarian. These stories served as excellent ice breakers and prompted questions about fire safety and prevention. The students (and firefighters) had a great time and learned along the way! Thank you to Edgewood Elementary School for this opportunity. Scarsdale Inquirer Scarsdale Patch Scarsdale10583 Scarsdale, New York
