The firehouse is located at 511 Coldenham Road in Walden. It's a 100 percent volunteer department since 1931, protecting hometowns in Orange County, including in Montgomery, Newburgh, and New Windsor.

"This was far more than just another fire call it was the headquarters of one of our neighboring fire departments. Our thoughts are with the members of the Coldenham Fire-Rescue as they work through this difficult time. We stand with our brothers and sisters and are ready to support them in any way we can," the Winona Lake Fire Engine Company stated.

No Injuries Reported

Reports from local officials say the fire caused extensive damage to the building and to multiple fire trucks.

According to officials, no injuries have been reported.

"A firehouse is more than just a building. It is a second home—a place filled with history, memories, camaraderie, and countless hours dedicated to serving and protecting the community. We can only imagine how difficult it is to see that place damaged by the very thing you work so hard to protect others from," the Wallkill Fire Dept Auxiliary added.
