GALLUPVILLE - At 6:29 am on December 23, firefighters from the Gallupville Fire Department were dispatched to a working structure fire on Drebitko Road.
Members of the department along with Schoharie, Berne, Central Bridge, Middleburgh Fire, along with Scho-Wright, County EMS and the NYS Police responded. Knox FD was on standby in Gallupville station.
Any fire is devastating for any homeowner, but when that homeowner is also a member of your FD family, it hits that much closer to home, fire officials said. This morning all of these departments came together to assist with the safe extinguishment of the fire. Battling the severe cold all agencies work tirelessly to have the best possible outcome for the situation they were presented with.
They thanked all those involved in helping this morning. "Whether you were one of the dispatchers at the Schoharie County Sheriff’s office, who were amazing, to someone who offered us coffee or a hot meal, everyone put in 110 percent. Although the home is a complete loss, everyone of the Fire/EMS workers went home safe. Again, thank you to all agencies involved."
