Last year we received a visit from Una Rogers. Una and her sister Aoife survived a devastating house fire that took place in the Borough back in April of 2000. Una and Aoife survived the fire but unfortunately their parents and brother did not. Una presented the Department with a generous donation from an event held in near their home in Ireland. Our members immediately decided this needed to be put towards ensuring that others are protected properly to be able to escape an emergency should one arise. We want to thank Avan Electric for their generous assistance and the Rogers family for their donation in which we were able to get smoke detectors for each company to keep in stock for calls that need them.

During tonight’s storm the Hawthorne Fire Department responded to numerous calls for service including wires down, trees down, hazards from storm damage, and a call to St Anthony’s which had our members hopeful to get some zeppoles a little early after working up an appetite. Unfortunately they were not made yet but 2 tents were found to have blown off the ground and were stuck in the trees. The aerial from Truck 2 was used to tie off ropes to better control slowly lowering the tents down by crews from Engine 1 and Rescue 5. Luckily the tents will be back up and ready for the Feast this week which is running from 6pm-10pm Wednesday night through Friday night and 5pm-10pm on Saturday night.

On Monday night members of the Hawthorne Fire Department received a class on gas emergencies by Chief Jerry Knapp from Rockland County. The class consisted of reviewing how we respond to and handle these calls and a refresher on understanding the readings our meters give us. To finish up a demonstration was shown of what happens when an environment in the explosive range finds its ignition source. Thank you Chief for this great night of training.
