MID-HUDSON – Another round of violent thunderstorms with heavy rains brought down trees on wires and in at least one instance, lightning struck the roof of a single-family house at 42 Fortune Road East in the Town of Wallkill at around 5:15 p.m. on Thursday.
The two-alarm fire in the Silver Lake district brought out several neighboring departments as crews erected a ladder on the exterior of the house while other members entered the building looking for any signs of flames of internal damage.
Family members stood outside as firefighters went to work.
