HAMLET OF WALLKILL – A two-alarm blaze caused considerable damage to the Countryside Café and apartments above it at 33 Wallkill Avenue in the hamlet of Wallkill Thursday night.

Area fire departments and ambulances were called in to assist in the firefighting operations as flames lit up the sky and smoke poured out of the apartment windows. A neighbor was told by firefighters that the closest fire hydrant was inoperable, which hindered operations.

One firefighter was reported to have been injured.

The cause was under investigation.
