Investigation into Fire at the Department of General Services Headquarters

Albany, NY- The Albany Police Department and the New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control are investigating a fire that occurred yesterday afternoon at the Department of General Services Headquarters.

On Tuesday, August 4th 2026 around 3:15 p.m., officers responded to 1 Conners Boulevard, for reports of a fire at the fuel pump. Upon arrival, officers located two City of Albany employees with burn injuries.

Further investigation determined that while both victims were at the fuel pump, an explosion occurred. The Albany Fire Department and emergency medical personnel treated both individuals on scene.

A 62-year-old Albany Fire Department member was transported from the scene by helicopter to Westchester Medical Center where he is continuing further treatment for his injuries.

A 48-year-old Department of General Services Supervisor was transported to Albany Medical Center Hospital from the scene. He was later transported to Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse where he is being treated for his injuries.

The names of the victims will not be released at this time out of respect for the privacy of those involved and their families.

A collaborative investigation between the Albany Police Department and the New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control is currently active and ongoing.

The Albany Police Department extends its thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families, friends, and coworkers during this difficult time.

Our Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) students stayed busy this week. They completed ride alongs with patrol officers and got to visit our dispatch center to learn firsthand from our telecommunications specialists.

They also participated in a hands-on crash reconstruction demonstration led by Albany Police Department Traffic Investigators Carriero and Zalatan.

These investigators shared their knowledge and expertise with this next generation of community leaders.

The students and some of our cadets had the opportunity to learn how investigators document collision scenes, analyze evidence, and reconstruct the events of a crash using real-world techniques.

A special thank you to AC's Towing & Recovery for generously providing the vehicles used during the demonstration.
