The fate of Bedford Road firehouse's longterm future in Chappaqua is now unclear following voters' rejection of a proposed expansion. The uncertainty is compounded by the fact that a separate proposition to purchase the Chappaqua Animal Hospital property was also rejected, albeit by a considerably narrower margin.

Results show that the proposition for the firehouse expansion was rejected by a lopsided margin, with 632 voting against it to just 105 voting in favor.
