Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Community, Featured, Local Leads.

33 Frederick Street

At 7:00 PM on Wednesday evening, both Glens Falls Fire Department and Glens Falls Police Department responded to a 911 emergency call regarding a fire at 33 Frederick Street in Glens Falls. Within 15 minutes of arrival, GFFD had the three-alarm fire under control, and the fire was fully extinguished within 30 minutes. 

No injuries were reported, but the fire displaced two residents. There was no assistance needed by the Red Cross, and the displaced residents both stayed with family members. Two dogs got out of the house safely; however, two cats and two rabbits perished. 

The fire was contained to the kitchen area in the rear of the structure; however, there was some heat damage and smoke damage in other areas of the structure. The cause of the fire is still under investigation by both the GFFD and GFPD.

City of Glens Falls in “Full Winter Mode”

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Community, Featured, Local Leads.

Glens Falls NY

The City of Glens Falls announced yesterday that the city is in “Full Winter Mode.” This is due to the combination of an expected large winter storm, and increased traffic during the holiday season. Mayor Bill Collins is asking for everyone’s cooperation to help the Department of Public Works (DPW), and to keep our residents safe. 

“We are ready,” said Mayor Collins. “We ask all our residents to monitor the latest forecasts and simply be smart. We also ask our residents to help one another, especially the elderly, with any snow shoveling they may need assistance with.”

Fire Chief James Schrammel said, “As always, please make sure to shovel your sidewalks and dig out around fire hydrants. That really helps our firefighters, and is a great help if we are needed in an emergency.” The fire chief also reminded the residents to be aware that parking in the street during snow emergencies can impede emergency vehicles due to the presence of snow banks, snow removal equipment, and the narrow nature of the city’s streets. 

Tom Girard – the superintendent of DPW for the City of Glens Falls – said, “We continue to monitor the latest changes in the forecast provided by the National Weather Service in Albany as well as all the local media outlets.”

Girard asked residents to help the DPW by doing the following prior to when the snow begins:

  • Please make sure all sporting equipment is removed from our city streets. If you remove a basketball hoop setup, please make sure that the basketball hoop is not hanging over the curb. Our trucks are large, and need room to maneuver.
  • Move any lawn bags so they are between the curb and the sidewalk. 
  • This is specifically for plow drivers who plow for or own their own snow removal service – when plowing parking lots and driveways, please do not push snow to the opposite side of a city street.  

The winter weather is expected to begin Thursday night, and continue through Friday.

Patrol Officer Zach Flewelling was honored earlier today by the Glens Falls Police Benevolent Association (PBA) on his retirement from the City of Glens Falls Police Department. Officer Flewelling was formally recognized by the department, and presented with a plaque in recognition of his service to the citizens of Glens Falls.

Officer Flewelling served 17 years with the City of Glens Falls Police Department as a Patrol Officer, and is a formerly recognized “America’s Most Wanted All-Star.” Officer Flewelling is a United States Army Veteran and retired New York National Guard Drill Sergeant / Staff Sergeant. On behalf of Chief Jarred Smith and Detective Lieutenant Seth French, the entire Glens Falls Police Department and the City of Glens Falls wish Officer Flewelling nothing but the best regarding his future endeavors upon retirement. 

Earlier this week, Police Officers within the City of Glens Falls Police Department raised funds within the department to purchase and donate toys to the Tri-County Marines Toys for Girls and Boys program.  Commander Bob Zink, from the Glens Falls American Legion Post 233 – who also organized the Veterans Day Ceremony at Crandall Park last month – represented the Tri-County Marines Toys for Girls and Boys Program.

A man has been arrested in connection with the Nov. 27 shooting in the parking lot of the Walmart on Route 9 in Queensbury. According to a press release, The Warren County Sheriff’s Office arrested 33-year-old Adrian Simental of Moreau on the evening of Nov. 29.

Simental has been charged with felony counts of attempted first-degree assault and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the incident.

He is accused of firing a handgun at a 52-year-old New York City man after an aggressive driving encounter that occurred between Simental and the victim moments earlier on Route 9. The investigation determined the encounter had occurred near Northway Plaza, and that Simental’s vehicle followed the victim’s vehicle into the Walmart parking lot, where a verbal and physical confrontation ensued. Simental is accused of firing a handgun during the confrontation and hitting the victim in the lower abdomen.

The victim was treated at Glens Falls Hospital and Albany Medical Center, and has since been released. His injuries are not considered life-threatening. Simental fled the scene after the shooting, and was located after an investigation involving members of the Warren County Sheriff’s Office, Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office, and New York State Police.

Simental was arraigned on Nov. 30 in Warren County CAP Court and remanded to Warren County Jail for lack of $200,000 cash bail or $600,000 bail bond. He is due back in Queensbury Town Court on Monday, Dec. 5.

Warren County Sheriff Jim LaFarr thanked all of the agencies and members of the public who assisted the Sheriff’s Office in their investigation and worked diligently to locate Simental. He said, “We strongly encourage everyone to avoid confrontations when faced with aggressive driving encounters and we ask the public to seek assistance from law enforcement when confronted by a ‘road rage’ incident, rather than attempting to resolve these matters themselves.”
