We purchased new cribbing as our wood cribbing was 30+ years old and dry rotting.
The Best-Luther Fire Department was out running calls during the storm. This photo, taken by Rensselaer County, was of us dealing with multiple trees down, wires down, and low hanging wires across the roadway.

Members came out on a Saturday and participated in a search and rescue ATV drill in the East Greenbush Town Park.
During the snow storms, the Best-Luther Fire Department was out and ran 17 calls from trees down, trees on wires, wires down, mutual aid calls, and an alarm activation. One of our members even celebrated his 18th birthday while out running calls!! Thank you to all the members who were able to be out and assist the community during this time. We would also like to thank a few people who stopped to help us clean up a few very large trees.
