Mohawk Ambulance Assists Fire Victims

March 24, 2015

Schenectady, N.Y. – An accidentally-set fire destroyed a Schenectady apartment building in March 2015, killing four and leaving more than 60 people homeless and possession less. The local community responded immediately with an outpouring of support and donations. Mohawk Ambulance Service employees, along with local agencies and community members, filled two ambulances with clothing, food, sundries, and various household items to donate to neighbors who lost everything in the fire.

Fire viticims donation

James P. McPartlon, III, Vice President for Mohawk said: We are more than willing to help our community and the victims of the fire get back on their feet. We express our sincere condolences to those affected by this tragedy.

The items were delivered to the Salvation Army, which in conjunction with the Red Cross, assisted the displaced victims. The five-story building was deemed a total loss and demolished days after the fire. Investigators determined the fire originated in a fourth floor apartment.

Mohawk Ambulance’s location on State Street in Albany is less than a mile from the site of the fire.
