🚨🚒 A third fire in our district to start off the week🚨🚒

At 3:00 am this morning Coeymans Hollow Fire Corporation, Ravena rescue, Albany County Medic and New Baltimore FAST was dispatched to 123 County 101 to Fabcon precast for a reported structure fire. Albany county 911 received 1 911 call reporting flames visible from a maintenance employee. Car 6-02 requested Selkirk and Onesquethaw fire to respond to the scene and placed Coeymans and Ravena fire on standby. Upon arrival it was found to be a working fire in the rear corner of the building. Ravena Fire was dispatched to the scene with their ladder and Coeymans with an engine. The fire was knocked down in 45 minutes and thankfully kept to a single room before spreading. Serious heat damage resulted to near by rooms and hall way as well as significant smoke damage to the rest of the building.
One very big savior was multiple doors being closed within the building keeping the fire contained. We again want to thank all of our neighboring departments for mutual resulting in a job well done.

🔥 Very intense early morning fire tore through a large family home in our district 🔥 This morning around 1:30 am the Coeymans Hollow Fire Company was dispatched to 58 Lawson Lake Road for a structure fire. Albany County dispatch advised the first chief enroute that they received two 911 calls reporting a working structure fire. Immediate mutual aid was requested from the Onesquethaw and Westerlo Fire Companies. After arrival of the first chief it was determined additional resources where needed and more Mutual was requested. Our fire fighters and neighboring departments worked diligently battling water supply issues on a very quick and intense fire. The propane tanks on the smaller end of the house suffered extreme heat exposure resulting in releasing gas feeding the fire. Multiple hours of overhaul after the working fire was knocked down commenced and members remained on scene well into the day. A rekindle called our Company back to the scene to hit some hot spots around 1900 this evening. The fire is still under investigation. Our hearts and thoughts go out to the family who lost their home this morning and we all pray this is never the way we meet our residents.

ગૂગલ ની મદદ થી વાંચ્યું ધ્રુજી જવાય એવા દ્રશ્યો. હવે ઈશ્વર બધું સલામત રાખે એવી પ્રાર્થના

At some point when you know it’s a total loss would it be better to just let it burn itself out and protect the surroundings?
