First and foremost I would like to point out how thankful we are for the Ossining Fire Departments amazing coordination with OPD, OVAC, Westchester County Emergency Management , the multitude of other fire departments , local officials and inspectors to get the residents to safety and get this blaze under control with no injuries or loss of life.

The seven residents who stayed in the emergency shelter at the Ossining Recreation department have been relocated to a local hotel compliments of Gullotta House ( a local charity organization that provides temporary help to those in need). The Red Cross was on scene and is providing some assistance to each of the residents of the building that was destroyed. Another local support organization Padres Hispanos opened yesterday to provide free clothing to those who lost everything. This recovery effort has been successful because of the collaborative efforts of the Town and Village officials, staff, local volunteers and community groups.
Many of the cars were able to be removed without damage from the garage.

Unfortunately the fire started smoldering again shortly after 3PM Saturday. It was quickly extinguished by the Ossining Fire Department with support from OPD and OVAC.
The building is currently fenced off and being monitored while awaiting inspections by structural engineers and others on Monday.
Residents of the adjacent building were allowed to return today after inspection.
