CLINTON, NEW YORK ? According to a New York State Police media statement, on Sunday ? October 13, 2024 ? at approximately 10:40 p.m., troopers, along with the East Clinton Fire Department, were dispatched by Dutchess County 911 to a residential house fire on Clinton Hollow Road in the town of Clinton.
According to an online report by the Mid Hudson News, fire had ?ripped through? the Air BnB rental property as first responders rushed to the scene? and a 911 dispatcher advised ?that three people were trapped on the second floor and a child could be heard yelling for his father.?
?New York State troopers were first to arrive and found Mr. Hubbard, the caller, outside of the residence. Hubbard stated two children and their mother were inside the house on the second floor. At least one trooper tried to make his way to the second floor but was turned back by the heat, smoke, and heavy fire,? according to the Mid Hudson News report.
The New York State Police media statement continues as follows:
?Entry into the residence was not possible until mutual aid from Pleasant Valley Fire Department arrived, and Shannon K. Hubbard, age 35, of Brewster, MA, and her two children, a three-year-old boy, and one-year-old girl were extricated from the residence. All four victims were transported to local area hospitals.

| Long day. We started breakfast with fruit banana bread and eggs Benedict. Then we headed to Provincetown Wow streets were very narrow and people were walking in the streets. No where to park and this isn't even peak season. Then we went looking for lighthouses.
Highland Lighthouse is still an active lighthouses on Cape Cod National Seashore. It was erected in 2857 and is the oldest and tallest lighthouse on Cape Cod
Then we went looking for Race Point lighthouse but you actually had to hike to that but I did some pictures of the ocean
Then we headed to Chatham and found The Three Sisters Lighthouses. they were called the Three Disters because from sea they looked like women in white dresses with black hats
Next stop the Chatham Fishing Pier
Had to take a picture of this boat called the Miss Evelyn as that was my moms name
Next stop the Chatham lighthouse. It stands 48 feet tall and 80 feet above sea level overlooking Chatham Bar. It is one of few lighthouses in America that still operates 24 hours a day
Then back to Falmouth. Decided to stop for dinner at the Shipwreck and stopped to get this sunset photo. Sunset was before 6 but at home it wasn't until 6:24
Back to the inn to relax in front of fire |
