Tuesday evening the Highland Falls Fire Department along with Fort Montgomery and West Point Fire Departments were dispatched to a reported dryer fire. The HFFD arrived within minutes and confirmed a fire in the laundromat. Quick work by responding firefighters confined the fire to the laundromat and limited damage. Firefighters searched the entire building to confirm everyone made it out safely. There were no injuries to the occupants or responding firefighters.
