Structure Fire
Haven Lane, Queensbury
November 6, 2002
Due to a power outage in the area, residents were seeking means of heating their residences other than electric. When this resident started a fire in his fireplace to keep his family warm, the heat started a fire in the mantle which subsequently ran up the inside wall into the attic. A quick response, good knockdown and fast/efficient ventilation is what saved this house from being completely destroyed.

Structure Fire
Thunderbird Lane, Queensbury
May 13, 2004
Queensbury Central Firefighters stretching handines for an initial exterior attack. Due to the type of construction and pure fuel for the fire, this residence was well involved by the time the first units arrived.
Surprisingly, the integrity of the floor was not a problem, so firefighters were able to enter the structure to investigate, put out hot spots, and investigate the cause of the fire.
Engine 317 and Rescue 116 had a tight fit getting into this driveway.
