A
fire broke out at a North Rockland power plant Saturday in Haverstraw. Fire
officials say the roof of the Bowline Power Plant caught fire due to heat from
a steam pipe. They say over 75 firefighters, from several
departments tackled the blaze.
Fire Chief Daniel Coughlin

actions of his crew. No
injuries or power outages were reported.
The
New Rochelle Police Department is getting a little greener. The department launched its first Hybrid Electric Police Patrol
Ford Explorers. The goal is to switch the patrol fleet to hybrids over the next
few years. This will
save the city money in fuel costs and reduce the city's carbon
footprint.
