Middleburgh FD Uses Doomed Chalet in Drills

MIDDLEBURGH - With only two weeks left until it is removed, the "Chalet" served its last purpose Monday evening.

Crews from six departments performed drills for almost two hours.

The Middleburgh Fire Department hosted a joint training exercise with the Schoharie Fire Department, Tri-Village Volunteer Fire Company, and Schoharie County Fast Team at 111 Railroad Avenue Monday.

Departments participating were from Middleburgh, Schoharie, Tri-Village, Cobleskill, Broome, and Huntersland.

The building at 111 Railroad Avenue in the Village of Middleburgh is slated to be removed later this month. The lot will eventually be used for parking.
