| This week we look back at images from a motor vehicle accident occurring in 1947 where a car ran off the roadway and into the water of West Creek.
The accident occurred on New Suffolk Ave. near the "first bridge" at Kimogenor Point in New Suffolk.
Pictured in the picture is CFD's 1939 utility truck. This truck served the citizens of the Cutchogue Fire District from 1939-1966. The trucks role was the departments earliest version of the modern day heavy rescue truck. The truck carried the departments first Aid equipment, various tools and equipment, generator, floodlights and supply hose.
The truck was was replaced in 1966 by a larger upgraded utility /rescue truck.
