MONTAUK, NY — In an outpouring of generosity and community spirit, two Montauk families teamed up to help the Montauk Fire Department with a new ride. The Hildreth and Kansler Families of Montauk recently donated a new, fully equipped Chevy Tahoe to the fire department. The vehicle, designated "9-3-81", is being used as a first responder vehicle for volunteer personnel to respond to a scene, and to provide medical assistance prior to an ambulance's arrival, fire department officials said. In the vehicle's week of service, paramedic Tom Flight put the vehicle to use, responding in 9-3-81 and saving the life of a man in cardiac arrest, officials said.
