By Rockland Daily Staff

In a ceremony held on Wednesday, May 15, the Village of West Haverstraw paid tribute to the brave individuals involved in the dramatic rescue of a contractor at the Bowline Power Plant earlier this year.

The incident, which unfolded on February 7th, saw a contractor perilously fall seven stories while working on a boiler within the power plant premises. However, it was the quick and coordinated response of local firefighters from Thiells and West Haverstraw that ultimately saved the contractor's life. Additionally, the Rockland County Technical Rescue Team played a vital role in ensuring the success of the operation.
