Main Street Fire Quickly Contained by Mt. Kisco and Bedford Hills Firefighters

Yesterday afternoon, our firefighters quickly contained a commercial fire on Main Street near Dakin Avenue. The Mount Kisco Fire Department was dispatched at 12:09 p.m. for an activated commercial alarm. Chief Hollis (Car 2281) arrived first on scene and encountered light smoke inside the business. Further investigation by our crews revealed heavy smoke pushing from the basement, prompting command to transmit a working fire signal (10-75).
Firefighters located an exterior fire at the rear of the building. Our members, alongside the Bedford Hills Fire Department, quickly knocked down and extinguished the flames before they could cause major structural damage. Other neighboring departments provided standby coverage for our district during the incident.
All units cleared the scene at 3:35 p.m. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
