A response was called from all Town of Bethlehem fire departments as crews worked for hours on Thursday afternoon to fight this working structure fire at 99 Dumbarton Drive in Elsmere on November 15th.

Upon arrival, the garage of the house was fully-involved with two cars inside of the garage, causing trouble for firefighters. There were also live power lines on the ground in the backyard, also causing problems.

A 96-year-old man was inside the home and went to check the garage after he smelled smoke. When he opened the door, he noticed fire and slammed the door shut, resulting in the fire giving him some minor burns. He was the only person inside the home at the time and is expected to be OK.

The fire quickly spread throughout the house as the fuel from the cars and inside the garage continued to fuel the fire.

Departments on scene included Elsmere, Delmar, Selkirk, Slingerlands and North Bethlehem. Coeymans Fire was placed on standby at Selkirk Station #1, Onesquethaw Fire was placed on standby in Delmar Station #1, McKownville was on standby at the Slingerlands Firehouse and Westmere was on standby at the North Bethlehem Firehouse.

There was a floor and a roof collapse and the house is considered a total loss.

The fire is believed to have started in or near the garage and is not said to be suspicious at this time.

**Side Note: The engine from the Albany County Sheriff's Department is on loan to the Elsmere Fire Department while one of their engines is out for repairs.**

Sad!

Excellent photos Mr. Marra . You captured every side of the fire service, the men and women who serve their community along with the devastation that this poor man and his family experienced. You deserve an award for being able to capture all sides of this terrible experience. Great job.
