TILLSON - A house on River Road was destroyed by fire on Friday, but firefighters were able to save an adjacent structure to which the flames had spread, according to the Tillson fire chief.
No one was injured in the fire, which apparently was started by an electrical short, Michael Dingman said.

Dingman said the house at 47 River Road was ablaze when firefighters arrived about 11:20 a.m. And that three engines and about half a dozen tankers were at the scene for almost eight hours.

The house at 47 River Road was a total loss, and the building next door at 49 River Road - a garage with an apartment above it - suffered serious damage, the chief said. Also, a vehicle on the property was destroyed, he said.


Dingman said the apartment above the garage needs extensive repairs before it can be occupied again.

Information about how many people were displaced by the fire was not immediately available.

Besides the Tillson Fire Department, the Rosendale, Bloomington, Rifton, New Paltz, Highland and Ulster Hose companies responded to the blaze.



This is sad news.... My grandfather built those houses in the 50apos;s and lived up there with my grandmother until their deaths in 1993 and 1996. My uncle could not afford to hold onto it. So in 1998 it was sold. The new owners rented it out and never maintained it like my grandfather would...each year it looked worse and worse. We always drove past it on the way to the cemetary to visit my relatives buried up there. To this day my uncle regrets selling that house. :(
