Beekmantown, NY Fire Destroys Seasonal Hunting Shed

Posted: Updated:
BEEKMANTOWN, N.Y. -

Fire crews in Beekmantown, N.Y. battled a fire late Monday afternoon.

A seasonal hunting shed was destroyed by flames.

It took fire crews several hours to put the fire out since it spread to 15 acres of woods.

The location also made it difficult because the shed was half a mile in the woods.

The Beekmantown Fire Chief says the winds made it especially difficult.

"As you see from going up the hill it's quite a challenge, with getting the trucks up and here and for personnel its quite a work out just getting up here," Darryl Menard, Beekmantown Fire Chief, said.

No one was at the shed at the time of the fire. Still no word on the cause.
