Several suspicious fires at a Hudson Valley apartment complex left at last 26, including two children, displaced.
The fires broke out around 10:30 p.m., Sunday, April 18 in Dutchess County at numerous units of the Village of Merritt Apartment on Jefferson Boulevard in the Village of Fishkill, said Trooper AJ Hicks of the New York State Police.
The Fishkill Fire Department originally responded to the scene for fires in two units, officials said. As they worked to douse the blazes, additional fires developed.
Firefighters from some 20 mutual aid departments, were successfully able to fight the fires as they moved around the complex, putting out hot spots as they popped up.
