At around 3 p.m., Katonah Fire Department was one of several agencies that responded mutual aid to assist Bedford Village Fire Department after a passer by reported smoke coming from the chimney area of Bedford Village Elementary School on Court Road. Katonah's Engine 115 responded with a tanker from Banksville Fire Department, an engine and tower ladder from Bedford Hills Fire Department, and personnel from Pound Ridge Fire Department. Crews from all the agencies assisted Bedford Village Firefighters with a thorough search of the school building. Fortunately, there was no fire.
