SCARSDALE, N.Y. – While en route to respond to an automatic alarm at Christie Place on Saturday, the Scarsdale Fire Department stumbled upon a one-vehicle accident at the intersection of Church Lane and Crane Road, which required immediate attention.
According to the department’s fire log, fire personnel observed the accident shortly after 3 p.m. while responding to the first call. They established a safe area around the accident and got traffic under control before alerting police officials and the Scarsdale Volunteer Ambulance Corp.
