JUNE 29 - This graduation season was an especially busy one for the Nanuet Fire Department. Six Nanuet volunteers graduated from local high schools this June.

Volunteers are allowed to apply for membership within the Nanuet Fire Department at the age of 16 with parental consent. Because of this, in their early years with the department, high schoolers often split time between their school obligations and volunteering.

This year, the following Nanuet FD members graduated from the following local high schools:

Shudipto Rahman - Clarkstown South High School

CAR FIRE TIES TRAFFIC ON PALISADES PARKWAY

JUNE 18 - A late evening car fire closed the Palisades Parkway Southbound between exit 9 and 10 for about 45 minutes.

The Nanuet Fire Department was dispatched at approximately 10:00 pm to a reported car fire. Upon arrival Chief Mattera confirmed a fully involved Toyota Camry in the right lane, he also requested the parkway be closed so no other cars would pass the burning auto.

Orders to stretch the "Trash line" (front pre-connected 1 3/4" hose line) were relayed to 8-EQ and to have the EQ park in a position to protect the fireman extinguishing the fire in case an errant car goes around the road ... (Full Story & Photos)
