Being from the area, I doubt this. Scarsdale is a good 15 miles north of NYC. That particular fire station wouldn’t have been on Trump’s radar – ALL the Westchester County fire fighters were called to duty that day, including Scarsdale, yes, but they were all called to downtown NYC. NYC was in command. It wasn’t as if Scarsdale was in any way running the operation.

When Donald Trump spoke earlier this week in Buffalo, media critics lambasted him for allegedly confusing “9/11” with “7/11.” However, a theory emerged as to why Trump didn’t misspeak, one that the media refuses to acknowledge.
The controversy all began Monday, as Trump was speaking before a crowd in Buffalo on the day before the New York primary. During the speech, he touted his 9/11 activism.
“I wrote this out, and it’s very close to my heart,” Trump said to the audience.

“Because I was down there and I watched our police and our firemen down at 7/11, down at the World Trade Center right after it came down. And I saw the greatest people I’ve ever seen in action.”
The media, predictably, pounced on Trump’s remarks.

“Donald Trump, who has made his advocacy for New York City after the 9/11 attacks central to his candidacy, accidentally referred to it on Monday as 7/11 — the ubiquitous convenience store,” CNN wrote with scarcely contained glee.
However, a new theory quickly emerged — the fact that he was actually talking about the Greenville Fire Department, a department in the New York town of Scarsdale that was one of the first to respond to the 9/11 attacks.
The station is known as 711 because of its address, 711 Central Park Ave. And as one Facebook user close to the situation pointed out, the firefighters there were quoted as “thanking Trump for his generous donations of time, services and goods, both for the firefighters and for the victims.”
If they were 15 miles away as you say and they were working for hours down in the mess, wouldn’t they need food and water and supplies. ( 15 miles from their station house) I thought I read that Trump sent his people from the Trump Tower with food from there along with drinks quite often. I believe his employees were sent to help out at times too.
