OFD Follows Parade With Olive Opera House Fire

OSSINING, NY — Just a few hours after its annual parade, the Ossining Fire Department was called out to a fire in the historic Olive Opera House. It started out as a basement fire but proved stubborn to put out.

Among the neighboring fire departments responding to help either at the scene or to cover the rest of the village were Croton-on-Hudson, Yorktown Heights, Thornwood, Millwood, and Tarrytown.

No residents were displaced by the fire.

The initial report indicates the structure of the roof and brick facades appear to be sound, said Mayor Victoria Gearity.
