Gutted interior of burned out cabin
RHINEBECK – Fire early Sunday morning destroyed an overnight cabin
at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck.
The initial fire call reported an unaccounted person in the cabin, but
she had relocated to a different location at the institute before the
fire broke out.
The fire was so intense that it spread to the exterior wall of the adjacent
cabin less than 10 feet away.
The fire was under control in a half hour although overhaul and cause-and-original
investigation continued.
Assisting on scene were East Clinton, Millbrook, Milan, Pleasant Valley
and Rhinebeck fire departments, State Police and Northern Dutchess Paramedics.
