As temperatures plummeted on Friday, February 3, call volume rose for Katonah Fire Department's Volunteers. Members who gathered at noon at the firehouse for a luncheon cooked by member Tom Connolly, were dispatched mutual aid to a brush fire in South Salem, caused by power lines downed by increasingly high winds. As Tanker 6 rolled to that call, a second call came in, for a large tree that fell across Westview Drive, bringing down primary electric wires in that neighborhood. After dealing with those two incidents, about an hour later, volunteers were dispatched to a commercial fire alarm at the Caramoor Center for the Arts, which fortunately turned out to be caused by workers on the premises. Less then an hour later, a call came in for a carbon monoxide alarm activation on Westview Drive, where elevated readings caused by a backup generator required firefighters to clear the home of carbon monoxide by way of ventilation. Finally, at 11:30 that night, volunteers responded to an odor of gas call at a residence on Lakeside Drive, which turned out to be unfounded.
