The Saranac Lake Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched at 1:55 p.m. to 278 Panther Mountain Road in the town Harrietstown. Departments from Tupper Lake, Bloomingdale, Paul Smiths-Gabriels, Piercefield, Lake Placid and Wilmington responded as well.

The house, on Upper Saranac Lake, lost part of its roof and was charred around the pipe of a woodstove climbing up the outside wall. The other side of the house did not appear to be damaged.

Building owner Matthew McInerney, who was letting family friends stay at the residence, said, “It looks like it was in the fireplace area, but we’re waiting on a report from the fire crew.”

Nona, a member of the family vacationing at the residence who wouldn’t give her last name, said, “Thank you to all the firefighters from the multiple departments that responded so quickly.”
