New 6-2-8 BRAT Handles Two Mulch Fires Along Old Country Road

Riverhead Fire Department volunteers handled two separate mulch fires along Old Country Road this afternoon, operating at Gala Fresh and BJ’s Wholesale Club. Crews quickly extinguished both incidents and wet down the surrounding areas to prevent extension.

Our new BRAT (Brush Response Attack Truck), 6-2-8, worked like a champ handling both calls and continues to prove itself as a valuable addition to the department.

We also thank the Riverhead Police Department for their assistance on scene.
