The Warwick Fire Department (WFD) has responded to 132 calls for service to date. The WFD had another busy week including their monthly scheduled Operations Drill at the H-1 Honor Block Building at Wickham Woodlands on State School Rd. Shortly before the drill, the WFD Firefighter Assist Search Team (FAST) responded to the Greenwood Lake Fire District for a structural related fire.
In addition, the WFD responded to: an aircraft accident at Wickham Woodlands, a kitchen fire, an electrical burning odor complaint, a motor vehicle accident rollover, and an illegal burn. Please keep in mind that the NYS Ban Burn continues through May 14.
Also on Sat., May 1, Engine Company #3 and members of the WFD participated in funeral services of past-captain Chris Jackson. He will always be remembered and never forgotten. The WFD sends their condolences to his family and friends.
