Four firefighters are recovering today
after battling a two-alarm fire in the City of Newburgh.
The city's seven firefighters on duty initially responded to the call at 87 City Terrace early Sunday
morning.
Officials say flames were seen coming out
of the second-floor windows. The blaze
eventually required 30 firefighters to knock down.
Two of the injured
firefighters had to be hospitalized after falling, one of them down a flight of stairs and the other on an icy surface outside. They were expected to return to work by Tuesday at the latest.
The Hudson Valley Chapter of the American
Red Cross is now assisting 20 people, including several children, who are
without a home.
The cause of the fire has not been
released.
