Firefighters Overcame Obstacles To Put Out Overnight Greenhouse Fire

CROTON-ON-HUDSON, NY — A stubborn greenhouse fire kept firefighters busy overnight.

The Croton-on-Hudson Fire Department says that at 11 p.m. on Tuesday, they were dispatched, along with a FASTeam from the Ossining Fire Department, to a greenhouse fire on Radnor Ave.

Firefighters from five companies worked together on getting a hose line into position, which included stairs and other obstacles, and were able to knock down the blaze and check nearby structures for extension.

40 members of the Croton Fire Department were at the scene. The Mutual Aid from Ossining was ultimately canceled and the fire was controlled by Croton Fire Department.

Units on the scene were 2081, 2082, 2083, E118, E120, TL44, T10, R18 & U14.

The units worked on fighting the fire for over two hours, remaining on the scene while the Westchester County Cause & Origin Team members conducted a routine investigation.

The fire was deemed accidental in nature and no injuries were reported.
