Firefighters battled a structure fire Wednesday morning at a residence on Snider Avenue in the Orange Lake section of the Town of Newburgh, officials said.

The Orange Lake Fire Department responded to 3 Snider Ave. at about 6:43 a.m. on March 25. The first arriving unit reported smoke showing and requested a second alarm, prompting a multi-agency response.

Mutual aid departments, including Winona Lake Fire Department, City of Newburgh Fire Department, Plattekill Fire Department and tanker support from Walden Fire Department, assisted at the scene. Additional coverage was provided by Coldenham Fire District and Good-Will Fire Department.

Firefighters deployed hand lines to attack flames that had spread to the second floor and attic area. Crews brought the fire under control and ventilated the roof to release heat and smoke.

Town of Newburgh police and EMS units were also on scene. Central Hudson Gas & Electric was called to shut off power to the structure. An Orange County deputy fire coordinator and the town fire inspector responded to assist with operations and the investigation.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

The American Red Cross said its Hudson Valley Chapter provided emergency assistance to two adults displaced by the fire. Aid included financial assistance for immediate needs such as shelter, food and clothing, as well as comfort kits and health services.

Red Cross volunteers said they will continue to support those affected in the days ahead as they begin recovery efforts.
