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.
