MONSEY, NY – The Officers and Members of the BFE Co No 1 regret to announce the passing of Harold “KUCH” Kuchler. Krazy Kuch or Brother Kuch, as he was affectionately known, was a 67 year life member, past captain of the fire police and a Korean War Veteran. More than that, Kuch was a daily fixture at 7-100. While not actually fighting fires anymore, Kuch was still actively involved in our day to day operations and was almost part of the walls of 7-100. His wild sense of humor, raunchy stories and totally unfiltered comments made Brother Kuch truly one of a kind and totally irreplaceable. 7-100 will never be the same without him. Rest in Peace, Brother Kuch.

Services for Kuch as follows:
Viewing will be at Scarr Funeral Home In Suffern this Sunday 8/30/20, 1-3 pm and 6-9 pm with Firematic services at 7:30 pm.
Funeral Services will be held on Monday 8/31/20, 11:00 am with full Firematic procession from Scarr Funeral Home ending at 7-100 for last call and military flag presentation with repast to follow at 7-100 immediately thereafter.

Recently, a resident posted this picture of a large black rat snake at Congers Lake. Town staff was sent to identify and locate it and the photo was sent to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation experts who identified it as an extremely large native black rat snake. According to the DEC these snakes average three to five feet but can grow to as large as eight feet. It is not venomous and poses NO harm to people. It is prime season to see them as they emerge from hibernation and the temperature is still cool out. They feed on mice, voles, small birds and eggs etc.
If you see this snake or others like it just give it space, they will be slower this time of year due to weather and will pose no harm to any residents. If you have any questions related to wildlife please call DEC region 3 general wildlife line 845-256-3098.
