The Thiells Fire Department, along with multiple mutual-aid agencies, responded to a reported chimney fire at a two-story split-level home in Haverstraw, where arriving units confirmed an active fire on the rear (โ€œ4 sideโ€) of the structure.

Upon arrival, Chief Connolly (26-1) confirmed a working fire and requested the Stony Point Fire Department FASTeam to the scene. Command also notified all units that the home was equipped with solar panels, adding an additional safety concern for responding crews.

First Assistant Chief Jeff Kahn (26-2), assigned to interior operations, reported that the fire had extended inside the walls of the residence.

Engine 26-1501 stretched a 1ยพ-inch attack line to the rear of the home to knock down visible exterior fire, while a second crew secured power to the solar panels. 26-Tanker flushed the hydrant and stretched a second attack line into the structure.

Interior teams pulled ceilings and walls, locating active fire inside the living room wall. Fire was quickly knocked down and contained to its area of origin. Meanwhile, 23-99 set up in front of the residence and initiated roof operations.

Hillcrest Fire Department provided an engine and manpower to support interior crews, while the Haverstraw Fire Department stood by in quarters with an engine during the operation.

Officials thanked all mutual-aid companies, the departmentโ€™s Ladies Auxiliary, Haverstraw Police, Haverstraw EMS, the Town of Haverstraw DPW, and Orange & Rockland Utilities for assisting at the scene.

The incident was logged as Incident #288. No injuries were reported.

Ramapo Police: Vintage Military Device Discovered During Home Cleanout

Published

HILLCREST, N.Y. โ€” A piece of decades-old military ordnance was safely removed from a Hillcrest residence Sunday evening after being discovered during a basement cleanout, according to the Ramapo Police Department.

Police were called to the home after the homeowner found what appeared to be an old munitions device, believed to have belonged to a Korean War veteran who once lived at the property. Because it was unclear whether the device was still active, officers contacted the Rockland County Sheriffโ€™s Office Bomb Disposal Unit as a precaution.

Bomb technicians responded to the scene, evaluated the device using specialized equipment, and safely removed it from the home. Authorities said the situation was handled without incident, and no residents were injured.

Police reported that everything was resolved smoothly and there was no threat to the surrounding neighborhood.
