One person injured in garage fire in Niskayuna

The Niskayuna Fire District No. 1 was dispatched to 1061 Van Antwerp Road Sunday morning for a garage fire.

Firefighters were on the scene within 3 minutes after they were dispatched and found flames coming through the roof of the garage.

One person sustained burn injuries while trying to put out the fire before the fire department arrived. The individual was treated on scene and transported to Albany Medical Center and is in stable condition.

Firefighters were able to get the fire under control in about 45 minutes, containing the fire to the garage, and preventing extension into nearby homes.

Firefighters said flammable liquids and gasses in the garage made it more difficult to extinguish. Investigators said these items were gasoline, propane, and oxy-acetylene.

The fire is under investigation by the Schenectady County Fire Investigators. There has been no final cause released yet but officials said the fire appears to be accidental.
