Flames and then smoke engulfed the Cold Spring home of Anne Impellizzeri, a long-time village volunteer, and Dan Wright, a World War II veteran and retired journalist, on Monday evening (July 7), drawing emergency responders from two counties and several jurisdictions.

Tuesday morning, Chief Josh DiNardo of the Cold Spring Fire Company said that when the first fire department unit arrived on High Street, “heavy fire was advancing throughout the home and rear of the structure. A ruptured residential propane tank next to the home assisted with fueling the fire and pushing the flames up the exterior of the home. An initial interior attack was abandoned by the incident commander due to heavy fire conditions.”
