Whipping winds and frigid temperatures created tricky conditions for fire crews in the area who worked to battle an overnight two-alarm fire that tore through an area home and garage and claimed the life of a family dog.
Crews in Dutchess County from the Arlington Fire District responded to a Vassar Road home near the Red Oaks Mill fire station shortly after 3 a.m. on Monday, March 15, where there was a report of a garage fire, Chief William Steenbergh said.
Upon arrival minutes later, Steenbergh said that not only was the garage on fire, but the blaze had spread to the main house, which was engulfed in flames, prompting a call for a second alarm.
