Upon arrival Beacon Chief Tim Joseph found a 30 x 100 storage garage with heavy smoke showing. Firefighters forced entry and began to attack the fire.

Beacon Command then requested a 2nd alarm that brought firefighters to the scene from Glenham with a tanker and the Village of Fishkill with a FAST team and relocated an engine from Glenham and a Ladder from Rombout to the city for stand-by. A special call requested a tanker from Chelsea to the scene but was later cancelled.

Firefighters had the fire knocked down in about 30 minutes and remained on the scene overhauling for another hour.

Editor’s note: After the fire was knocked down the Village of Fishkill FAST team was subsequently put to work assisting with overhaul.
