Thank you Dolce and Biscotti Fine Italian Bakery at the Parkwood Plaza off Route 9 for dropping off these great treats at the firehouse. We appreciate your generosity very much.

24 hours has passed since our bakery accident and we are even more amazed and grateful that my staff and I had many Guardian Angels watching over all of us. T...he attached video was retrieved today and shows how horrific this was for all. Thankfully, none of us, including the wonderful woman in the car received any serious injuries. The bakery can be rebuilt and we thank you all for your warm wishes, calls of support and kind comments. This mean so much. A special thank you to all the first responders and Quick Response who arrived at the bakery almost instantly, and the NYS Troopers who were just incredible helping us - especially Trooper Meghan Williams. She was outstanding, coming back to the bakery a number of times last night to check on us. Lastly, a specially thank you to Dan at Zachary’s Pastry Shop in East Greenbush for coming to our aid, helping out many of my customers with orders we could not fill.

Do you have a real tree in your home? Make sure to continue watering it daily so it doesn’t dry out. Once it’s dry out it becomes a fire hazard and can burn very quickly, so please dispose of it before it reaches that point.

Congratulations to Clifton Park Firefighter Kyle Vansyckle on graduation from military training today. Your brothers and sisters are proud of you. Stay safe as you head to your next assignment

Boght Community FD is hiring a full time station keeper... see below.

The Clifton Park Fire Department along with mutual aid from Halfmoon, Hillcrest, and Boght Fire Department was dispatched to 430 route 146 lot H trailer 18 for ...multiple calls for a working structure fire with entrapment. Clifton Park’s fire chief called in route to the scene and upon receiving details from the dispatcher he immediately transmitted the second alarm and requested a landing zone to be set up for a burn victim. Car 19 arrived on scene and had a well involved trailer fire with confirmed entrapment. Clifton Park EMS arrived on scene and immediately began to administer advanced life support measures to the burn victim on scene. Engine 191 arrived on scene and immediately deployed a hand line to the front door of the structure. With heavy black smoke pushing from every portion of the trailer, firefighters immediately began to make an aggressive push inside of the trailer. Additional crews arrived on scene and began to conduct a primary search of the trailer. As firefighters made their way to the rear of the trailer they discovered the floor had burned out. Firefighters on scene conducted an aggressive interior tack knocking down all of the heavy fire. Additional firefighters on scene cooled down one of the neighboring trailers as the heavy fire pushing from the rear of the building melted the siding on one of the trailers nearby. The next engine in to the trailer park immediately laid in from the nearest fire hydrant to the scene establishing the water supply. As firefighters brought the fire under control, The interior crew searching for the victim located the victim in the front of the trailer. Unfortunately the victim had already passed. Command requested the Saratoga County fire investigators to the scene. Clifton Park’s EMS units arrived at the landing zone and transferred one person to the flight medic to transport the victim to the burn center. Firefighters on scene began to conduct heavy overhaul of the severely damaged trailer. In the back portion of the trailer the floor had given way and was unsafe for firefighters to search or enter that area. Firefighters remained on scene for over three hours conducting overhaul, picking up equipment, and providing assistance to investigators as needed. Firefighters from neighboring companies provide zone coverage for departments on scene. The first burn victim was transported to the burn center for their injuries and are listed in stable condition. State police later that evening identified the deceased victim as 73-year-old Dorothea Roberts of Halfmoon. The Saratoga County fire investigators are currently investigating the cause of the fire. No firefighters on scene were injured as a result of the fire.

Happy Kwanzaa to all who celebrate! Wishing you peace and happiness!
