At 12:09PM on Saturday, April 21, the Hudson Fire Department's tower ladder was requested mutual aid to the Village of Philmont. The Philmont Fire Department was operating at a working fire with several structures involved. Tower 32 arrived on scene and crews were immediately put to work operating several handlines in the rear of the residence that was on fire. Tower 32 was setup in the front of the main structure involved and began master stream operations from the ladder. The fire was knocked down and crews were back in service by 4:30PM. All other Hudson units stood by in quarters during the fire.
Hudson firefighters were dispatched at 9:14PM to a reported electrical fire at 87 N. 5th Street. Firefighters controlled the fire that involved the electrical service until a National Grid line crew was able to shut off power. Hudson units were back in service at 10:46PM.
