Rotterdam
GAZETTE COVERAGE
Police closed Burdeck Street from Route 159 to Princetown Road as firefighters stretched yellow supply hoses for hundreds of yards from hydrants to the storage business.
The fire was reported at about 10 a.m., and firefighters were expected to remain on scene for hours, until about 4 p.m. at least, South Schenectady Fire Chief Dave Stern said.
“We received a call about black smoke coming from one of these storage units,” Stern said. “When I arrived, the first three units were heavily involved, with a gentleman trying to put it out himself. We pulled him away, engines arrived and we got water on the fire pretty quick.”
