Release
At approximately 7:15 PM on May 15, 2025, the Rye Fire Department was dispatched to 1 Boston Post Road, BP Gas Station, for a reported motor vehicle fire.
Upon arrival, crews encountered an SUV with a fully involved engine compartment fire located next to the structure. A hose line was stretched, and due to the vehicle’s close proximity to the building, the nature of the call was upgraded. Additional resources were requested from the Rye Brook and Larchmont Fire Departments as a precaution.
The fire was quickly extinguished and successfully contained to the compartment of origin. Crews checked the building for any fire extension and confirmed there was none. Mutual-aid companies were subsequently returned.
The Rye Police Department was on scene and assisted as needed. Fire units ensured that the business owner was fully informed before returning to service at approximately 8:07 PM.
As always, the Rye Fire Department thanks its mutual aid partners and the Rye Police Department for their continued support in managing incidents safely and efficiently.
