Garage, workshop destroyed in fire in Woodbury
A garage and workshop were destroyed in a fire in Woodbury on Tuesday that prompted mutual aid from multiple area fire departments. Crews responded to reports of a structure fire in the early morning hours at 305 Hoop Pole Hill Road and found a fully involved fire, according to the Woodbury Volunteer Fire Department. The burning building housed a garage and workshop used by a local tree service. Fire officials said there were no hydrants in the immediate area, so the department's preplan and mutual aid strategy was initiated, bringing a tanker truck from the Washington Volunteer Fire Department and an engine and crew from the Bethlehem Fire Department to the scene. An engine from the Roxbury Volunteer Fire Department responded to provide station coverage. According to fire officials, tanker shuttles were used to bring water to the fire from a 10,000-gallon cistern on Hazel Woods Drive and a hydrant on Washington Road. About 27,000 gallons of water were used to put out the blaze. Fire officials said the garage and workshop were a complete loss. The fire was contained before it could spread to a barn about 20 feet away that houses animals and hay. No injuries were reported by any firefighters or the property owners, and none of the animals were harmed. Woodbury fire officials thanked their mutual aid partners in a Facebook post. 'This is how small rural towns work to keep their communities protected when additional resources are needed — we rely on good neighbors and partners in the fire service,' fire officials wrote. 'Whether it is tankers for water/shuttles, manpower for suppression, station coverage for additional emergencies or coordination resources we all know you are here for us, and we will be there for you when you need our help. Thank you for your time and service in the wee hours of the morning this week.'
