12/20/2024 Dryer fire in a hotel on Miller Rd.

Earlier today, we were dispatched to a hotel in our first due for a reported fire in the laundry room, with multiple calls received by the dispatch center.

|
EGFD Car 2 and Car 4 arrived finding the building charged with smoke and a working fire in a commercial dryer.
Firefighters quickly entigushed the fire, containing it to the dryer, while the hotel occupants were evacuated to our bus for warmth and safety.

Schodack Valley Fire responded to assist with ventilation due to the extensive smoke throughout the hotel.
Damage was minor and contained to the laundry area.

The building was turned back to management and the local building and codes department to begin restoration
for what certainly will be a busy weekend of holiday travelers!

We appreciate all of our volunteer firefighters who give of their time to preserve and protect the lives and property in Fire District 3.
