Golonek emptied two fire extinguishers on the flames while Novak opened a garden hose he'd pulled through an open French door of the 5,000-square-foot house on tiny dead-ended Dogwood Drive late on June 28. Together, they beat back the flames and had the blaze knocked down by the time borough firefighters arrived. The residents got out OK and no injuries were repor…

Ramsey Gas Station Blaze: Driver, 44, OK After Car Plows Through Pumps
A 44-year-old driver walked away unscathed early Sunday after her Mercedes barreled over gas pumps and crashed into a Ramsey service station, igniting a fully-involved fire.

It was taken over by his wife, Tracy Clemente Checke. "No one was hurt," she wrote on Facebook just before noon. "Most of our stuff was out of the shop, but doesn't make it…

4 Feet High & Rising: Allendale Firefighters Rescue Driver From Floodwaters
A pair of wet-suited Allendale firefighters rescued a motorist who was trapped in her car with water up to her driver’s side window -- and rising -- during Tuesday’s storm. An SUV driver had backed out as police reached the West Crescent Avenue underpass near the Myrtle Avenue intersection, Police Chief George Scherb said. A 62-year-old Florida, NY driver was stuck, however, with the waterline rising four feet to handles of her sedan, Scherb said. An officer summoned firefighters as the water continued to rise. After first throwing her a rope and telling her to keep calm, the firefighters…
