All Livestock Were Saved
With the brave assistance from two New York State Troopers, a Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Deputy and Poestenkill firefighters, rescuers were able to save a large number of calves from a burning barn early Tuesday morning at the Wagner Farm on Garfield Road. Firefighters were able to knock the fire down in a little more than 30 minutes. No injuries were reported.
