Car into Swamp Route 295 Canaan 04/19/21
Canaan Firefighters didn't have to respond far on Monday morning for an accident in front of their station. Columbia County 911 dispatched Canaan and Red Rock firefighters and CC EMS Greenport Rescue at 11:14am for a report of a vehicle in a swamp and the driver unable to get out.

Firefighters used an ice rescue sled to help remove the driver from the swamp due to the water and mud.

A helicopter was placed on standby but was not needed. The driver refused medical attention.

The New York State Police investigated.

Firefighters were back in service at 11:39am.
