Columbia County 911 dispatched Hudson Firefighters and Greenport Rescue at 10:51pm
for a reported fire at 721 Warren Street in the City of Hudson. A mattress fire was located on the third floor
of the building. The fire was quickly extinguished but water from the sprinkler system caused extensive damage to the building.
Water caused damage to the third floor and the space occupied by Animalkind. Animalkind is a non-profit 501(c)(3)
organization, dedicated to the non-proliferation of unwanted felines through TNR (trap/neuter/return) and low cost spay/neuter
options.
Some 150 cats call this home. The free roaming cats had to be rounded up by volunteers Wednesday
morning. Organizers say its an "emergency". They need homes for the cats and money to help find a temporary building for the felines.
For information on how to assist you can go to: www.animalkind.info or contact Katrine Hecker of Animalkind at 518.821.9615.
Hudson Firefighters were back in service
at 11:54pm.
