NEW ROCHELLE, NY (December 23, 2025) — Firefighters from Engine 21 responded to a pedestrian struck call on North Avenue that was quickly upgraded to a car-into-building incident, prompting additional rescue and ladder companies to the scene.
The call was upgraded after the initial report, bringing Rescue 4, Rescue 54 and Tower Ladder 11 to the assignment.
A pedestrian and two passengers from the vehicle were transported to area hospitals for treatment.
To secure the scene, firefighters placed temporary struts before removing an already compromised roll-down gate. Double T-shores were then built and positioned to stabilize the front of the building.
The department praised the efforts of Deputy Chief Ted Ferrara and Squad 4 from Station 1 — known as “The Big House.”
