On Monday morning at around 8:30AM the Continental Village Fire Department was dispatched for a reported structure fire at a residence on Roa Hook Road. Upon arrival of the first unit a 10-75 (working fire) was transmitted for a well involved fire on the first floor of the residence along with an update of possible parties still in the residence. Upon entering the structure to preform a primary search Car 2131 and a Cold Spring Chief found one child and one adult in the kitchen area of the residence both of whom had sustained burn injuries. After the parties were removed from the structure Car 2131 and the chief from Cold Spring reentered the structure to finish the primary search of the first floor and radioed that their search results yielded no additional victims. By this time 2 Engines from Continental Village and an Engine from Peekskill FD had arrived on scene and began knocking down the fire as it started to extend to the second floor. Additionally firefighters rescued approximately 7 dogs from the residence before the fire was placed under control at around 9:30AM. Both injured parties were treated at the scene and then transported to Westchester Medical Center.
