Fire at Aviemore Apartments
The Chief called to attention an article appearing in
today's Daily Times on page 2, referring to an incin-
erator fire at the Aviemore Apartments at 1 Dillon
Road, Town.
He stated that Larchmont Village answered the call
erroneously and that the second paragraph of said ar-
ticle was incorrect since no mutual aid agreement ex-
isted or was needed in this instance.
He explained that the matter had been cleared with
the Chief of the Larchmont Village Department but
that he wanted the official record clarified - thus re-
questing this statement in the minutes of this meeting.
The Supervisor thanked the Chief and advised that he
would clear this matter with the proper Village of-
ficials.
