"As devastating as this fire is, no one was hurt," he said. "Equipment can be replaced and structures rebuilt. Having been a member of this Tivoli Fire Department and mayor of this amazing village, I know how deeply they feel this loss, but also how resilient they are.
"Tivoli will rebuild and Dutchess County will be there, shoulder to shoulder with them," Molinaro said.
