SOUTH GLENS FALLS, N.Y.
Multiple firefighting crews were called out just before 8 a.m. on Thursday morning to the home at 32 South Spring Street. The fire was reported at about 7:45 a.m. by residents calling 911 after smelling smoke.
Firefighters were able to put the fire out quickly despite the cold.
“We’re pretty well versed as far as the cold. It hasn't gotten too cold yet, so we're working through it,” said Jonathan Pease, Assistant Fire Chief with the South Glens Falls Fire Department. “It's definitely a change of element but it didn't cause any problems here today."
South Glens Falls, West Glens Falls, Wilton, Gansevoort, Hudson Falls and Fort Edward firefighters were called to the scene, while South Queensbury was called out for standby.
No injuries were reported.
