The Warwick Fire Department Scholarship Committee recently awarded two scholarships to high school graduates.

Steven Dixon, son of Kim and Daniel Dixon was awarded $1500. Steven has been accepted at a number of universities and plans take a diverse range of courses. “I look at college as a sort of stepping stone to the world, a lobby with many doors to many places,” said Steven. In high school Steven was a member of the Crew Team, the Mock Trial Team, the Humanitarian International Club, and the Film Club. In addition to volunteer work for his church, Steve successfully raised and trained a puppy for the Seeing Eye Association and is currently an active member of the Warwick Fire Department’s Engine Company No.3.

Alex Batz, son of Michael and Marie Batz was awarded $1000. Alex will begin attending Rockland County Community College in the fall where he will study Criminal Justice and Emergency Management. During his years at Warwick High School, Alex was a member of 4-H, the Future Farmers of America and the Warwick DARE Program. Also a member of the Warwick Fire Department, the Raymond Hose Company recently awarded Alex their Firefighter of the Year status for his dedicated service.

College bound members of the Department and children of members are eligible to apply for a scholarship award. The scholarships are awarded based on the applicant’s community service, academic performance, extracurricular activities and an essay submitted to the committee.

Money for the scholarships is set aside each year from the various fund raising activities of the Department.

Incident News

::: Two Car MVA with Entrapment :::

Wednesday August 18, 2010 - Warwick firefighters responded to a head-on collision on Kings Highway and used the Jaws of Life to extricate the driver of a silver Toyota. That victim was then transported by Warwick Ambulance to a landing zone at Kings Elementary School.  From there he was flown by helicopter to Westchester Medical Center.  The driver of the other car, a red Jeep, was transported by Warwick Ambulance to Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern, NY.   Both drivers sustained life threatening injuries.  Kings Highway remained closed to traffic for approximately four hours as Warwick Police and the State Police Accident Reconstruction Team investigated the accident.

::: Mutual Aid Barn Fire :::

On Wednesday August 4, 2010 - Warwick FD was called to assist the Florida Fire Department at the scene of a barn fire on Meadow Road just outside the Village of Florida.  Due to very limited water resources in the area multiple alarms were sounded for mutual aid tankers as well as engines to set up drafting operations.  High heat and humidity quickly took a toll on the firefighters and additional companies were called to the scene to supplement the available manpower.
