C/Poughkeepsie FD - Hudson Av - 1-23-11

14 posts in this topic

The City of Poughkeepsie, Arlington, and Fairview Fire Departments operated in single digit temps at this fully involved structure fire at # 90 Hudson Avenue directly across from the Smith Street Housing project on Sunday evening January 23, 2011...... This was initially an exterior operation due to the amount of involvement upon arrival and the questionable structural integrity...... I believe the building was vacant/abandoned...... Arlington and Fairview were dispatched on the initial assignment due to the City operating at another alarm and were cleared from the scene as I arrived.....

Excellent photos, Bill.

I know you've probably been asked this here but I'll ask again anyway - what kind of camera and flash are you using?
