A second engine from Hudson was requested and manpower from Kiskatom as crews were opening up the walls, ceiling and roof on a first floor area that spanned between the original building and a large beautiful addition. This building is historical and iconic to a lot of locals. We were fortunate to have a fast response and plenty of manpower to handle any further extension from the fire.
