Fire at the Library? We received a call on Tuesday afternoon about fire trucks on Brewster Road spraying a geyser of water toward theScarsdale Library.  Was the building on fire? Fearing the worst, we rushed to the pond, camera in hand and found a line-up of Scarsdale trucks and a huge spray of water on the pond. But at first glance, everything at the library looked fine. Turns out the firemen were conducting a training drill with a new recruit to the force, and learning  how to use the equipment.  Check out these photos of the waterfall!
