Kiryas Joel forms specialized accident response vehicle named after two fallen heroes
In the Jewish culture, when someone dies in an accident or other traumatic situation, the whole body, including any lost blood, must be buried as one. So the Village of Kiryas Joel has created a special emergency response unit named after two fallen heroes.
The village’s Warner Hein - Gerard Nevins Search and Recovery Group was created by the village’s Director of Public Safety, Rabbi Moses Witriol.
“It is a division of the Public Safety of the Village of Kiryas Joel, which has a truck that is equipped if we have to dig up a little of the paving or if we have to cut something in the car and we do it as best as we can,” he said.
Hein, the brother of Ulster County Executive Michael Hein, was the zone sergeant for Troop F State Police in Monroe and was their liaison with the Hasidic village. He died suddenly in December 2007.
Nevins was the brother of Monroe State Police Captain Steven Nevins. He was with FDNY and was killed at the World Trade Center on September 11th.
