Hudson firefighters made quick work of extinguishing a shed fire at the rear of the municipal parking lot on the 600 block of Union Street late Friday evening. The approximately 25x12 foot shed and attached storage container were fully involved with fire when Hudson volunteers arrived shortly after being dispatched at 11:10PM.
The fire was rapidly extinguished and did not spread to an adjacent structure that was within 15 feet of the shed. The structure currently is the site of art auctions and is the former home of the Hudson Elks Lodge.
The cause of the fire was being investigated by Hudson Police and the Columbia County Cause & Origin Team. Hudson firefighters were on the scene until 1:30AM.
