MONSEY, NY – The Officers and Members of the BFE Co No 1 regret to announce the passing of Harold “KUCH” Kuchler. Krazy Kuch or Brother Kuch, as he was affectionately known, was a 67 year life member, past captain of the fire police and a Korean War Veteran. More than that, Kuch was a daily fixture at 7-100. While not actually fighting fires anymore, Kuch was still actively involved in our day to day operations and was almost part of the walls of 7-100. His wild sense of humor, raunchy stories and totally unfiltered comments made Brother Kuch truly one of a kind and totally irreplaceable. 7-100 will never be the same without him. Rest in Peace, Brother Kuch.

Services for Kuch as follows:
Viewing will be at Scarr Funeral Home In Suffern this Sunday 8/30/20, 1-3 pm and 6-9 pm with Firematic services at 7:30 pm.
Funeral Services will be held on Monday 8/31/20, 11:00 am with full Firematic procession from Scarr Funeral Home ending at 7-100 for last call and military flag presentation with repast to follow at 7-100 immediately thereafter.

Congratulations to Todd Reinertsen and Scott Nava working Medic 1 for a great job this morning saving 5 adults and 4 children with carbon monoxide poisoning. Medic 1 responded to a residence in Garnerville for a woman complaining of headache and nausea. While assessing the woman, the portable carbon monoxide detectors carried by our paramedics for many years began alerting to high levels of CO in the house. Todd and Scott quickly evacuated the house and determined that all residents were feeling sick with headaches and nausea. Their quick action saved lives today.
