At 1:30pm on Tuesday, June 16th, Rye FD was dispatched to the area of 150 Purchase St for a reported truck fire. Rye Firefighters were quickly on location and found a paper shredding truck had overheated and caused some of the paper to burn and catch fire. An additional engine was special called to the scene due to the amount of paper in the truck. Extended overhaul operations continued until all fire had been extinguished and paper placed back into the truck. Rye FD returned to service at approx. 2:30pm. |
