March 13, 2012
The morning of April 7th, Yorktown Fire, along with multiple other agencies will be conducting a large scale drill on the IBM property. During this time, multiple pieces of fire apparatus will be involved in operations simulating a fire in the IBM Research Facility, with a simulated loss of city water pressure. Water tanker trucks will be called in to simulate water relay operations resulting in emergency vehicles operating on Yorktown's roads that are not congruent with normal driving conditions.
The drill is slated to last from 8am until 3pm, and will use the surrounding roads of Rt 134, Pines Bridge, and Chadeayne. Please understand that during this time, the fire apparatus will be running to simulate actual operating conditions. We thank you for your patients during this short time.
