On Monday afternoon, the Continental Village Fire Department was dispatched to an odor of smoke in the proximity of Schuyler and Stuben. On arrival, 14-1-1 reported a 120' x 15' Brush Fire along the shoreline of Cortlandt Lake. 14-3-1 (Brush Truck) was requested to the scene, and a water supply was established with 14-4-1 (Tanker). Firefighters used the high-pressure hose from the Brush Truck to put water on the fire, and raked the area out extensively to drown out hot spots.
