A home on Ryan Gross Road was destroyed by fire at daybreak Saturday morning.
When firefighters arrived, the northwest corner of the building was engulfed in flames and the rest of the interior and attic crawl space was rapidly accelerating.
Everyone got out safely and no emergency personnel were injured. With no nearby available water source, water was brought from the Hoosic River to the scene with tanker trucks and distributed from a folding frame tank.
Firefighters from Johnsonville, Buskirk, Pittstown, Valley Falls, Hoosic Valley, Melrose and West Hoosick responded
