On Wednesday, April 8, 2015, the Purchase and West Harrison Fire Departments were visited by Westchester County Police Detective John Peters and his partner Daisy, a black Labrador Retriever. Detective Peters educated our departments about the use of accelerant detection canines and the services that his unit provides to the county's fire departments. The firefighters were also fortunate enough to watch Detective Peters and Daisy perform a training scenario.

The Purchase Fire Department is grateful to Detective Peters for sharing his vast knowledge of fire investigation with us. At the conclusion of the presentation, we gave Daisy an opportunity to familiarize herself with our apparatus and equipment.
