There was no photo on the web so I scanned and cropped the one in the paper
and posted it on ABPW.

Workshop blaze damages Ulster home


TOWN OF ULSTER - A fire that started in a workshop on the side of a
house on Glenerie Boulevard Saturday afternoon did substantial damage to the
rest of the home.

The fire started as Kenneth Schermerhorn, the homeowner, was stripping
paint from old furniture, according to Ulster Hose No. 5 assistant chief
Paul Masten. He said some molten paint dripped into a cardboard box,
igniting the blaze at about 3:15 p.m.

It was a fast fire, according to Masten. "I live right nearby, and
there were flames 40 feet in the air when I arrived on the scene," he said.
There were no injuries to firefighters or residents, he said, and there were
no pets in the house.

Masten said the workshop seemed to be a total loss, and there was
substantial smoke, water and heat damage to the main structure. There were
about 40 firefighters on the scene, and they attacked the fire from the
interior. "We knocked it down in about ten minutes," he said. There was a
separate garage on the property that was unaffected by the fire.

There is a new fire hydrant system in the area where the fire
occurred, Masten said, so water was not a problem. Masten said his
department was on the scene until around 5:45. Glasco fire department had
their FAST team at the fire, and East Kingston and Port Ewen were on
standby.
