Today was a very proactive day for the Montrose Fire District.

The day began with bailout classroom training for newer members working toward interior firefighter certification. As training wrapped up, crews were dispatched to a CO condition on Furnace Brook Road, which was determined to be a faulty meter.

Shortly after, we responded to a two-car MVA with injuries on Furnace Dock Road.

While clearing that call, we were dispatched to a reported house fire on Meadow Road. Due to poor road conditions, mutual aid was requested. Crews found an exterior fire involving the main electrical service above the meter, with minimal interior extension. Dry chemical extinguishers were used until Con Edison secured power, and overhaul confirmed no further extension.
