Yonkers 304/74 would be first due... About a half mile away

I understand that Yonkers and FDNY don’t mutual aid each other.

They do. 52/52 has a box with them. Both respond to depeyster st.

There have been instances when both units from FDNY and Yonkers have operated on the borderline, small private dwelling comes to mind. When Yonkers has a larger fire on border they use westchester resources no mutual aid from FDNY. Same for FDNY we won’t use Yonkers for multiple alarm close to our border. Yes there is a box in Yonkers that is actually part of NYC on DePeyster and correct statement that 52/52 and 304/74 respond, it’s 4 group homes.

We have gone to the westchester fire training academy and trained with paid departments from westchester, the mutual aid thing is politics and upper echelon stuff. The north end of Riverdale fire companies have a very long wait for help coming in any large scale incident.
