A message from Westchester County Department of Emergency Services

Fire Danger Warning Issued for Westchester County & Hudson Valley Region

The current dry conditions have increased the risk of fire in County parks and wooded areas in Westchester and the Hudson Valley region. In recent days, a number of large brush fires have occurred around the County.

Brush fires have occurred in the last few days in Saxon Woods Park in the Scarsdale/White Plains area and in Cortlandt, Greenburgh, Harrison, Lewisboro, Mount Pleasant, New Rochelle, North Castle, North Salem, Ossining and Pelham Manor.

A few safety tips for residents and visitors to follow to prevent outdoor fires:

• Where campfires are permitted, limit their size and never leave one unattended. Make sure it has been fully extinguished before leaving a campsite.
• The burning of tree limbs or other organic debris is not permitted while the burn ban is in effect.
• Safely dispose of any charcoal used in a grill or ashes from wood burned in a fireplace.
• Extinguish cigarettes and other lightened materials safely and do not drop them in any wooded or grassy area.

If you observe any smoke or small fire in any park or wooded area, please call 911 immediately so it can be quickly contained.

A message from Westchester County Department of Emergency Services

Air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than an Air Quality Index value of 100 for the pollutant of Ground Level Ozone. The Air Quality Index, or AQI, was created as an easy way to correlate levels of different pollutants to one scale. The higher the AQI value, the greater the health concern.•When pollution levels are elevated, the New York State Department of Health recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health effects. People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of elevated levels of pollutants include the very young, and those with preexisting respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease. Those with symptoms should visit their personal physician.

It is with deep regret that we report the sudden passing of our fellow Town colleague and Ossining native Cheryl Timmons who has been our Assessment Clerk since 1988. Her passing leaves a huge hole in our hearts and in the Town Assessment Office as Cheryl devoted her life to making sure that Ossining residents, especially our seniors, received the highest level of service that one could possibly give. Her smile and infectious laugh will be dearly missed by all who knew her. 

Wake service will be on Monday 2/27/23 from  5 PM to 8 PM at Clinton Funeral Home, 21 Parrot ST, Cold Springs, NY 10516.

 The Funeral Service will take place on Tuesday 2/28/23 at 10 AM at Our Lady of Loretto, 24 Fair ST, Cold Springs, NY 10516.

In lieu of sending flowers, the family requests donations to the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) in Beacon, NY. Cheryl was well known for her love of animals and had a special place in her heart for ARF. More information about the foundation can be found here: https://www.arfbeacon.org/ 

**The Tax Receiver's and Assessor’s Office will open at 1 PM on Tuesday 2/28/23 as staff will be at the funeral service for Cheryl.**

It was also a great opportunity to meet up with our fellow municipal colleagues, many of which we have not seen since the COVID pandemic started.
