Retired Troy Fire Captain Loses Home & Pets to Fire Brunswick, NY - On December 17, 2017 the Center Brunswick, Raymertown, Speigletown, Brunswick No.1 Pittstown, Mountain View, Eagle Mills, Melrose and Grafton Fire Departments were dispatched for a fully involved structure JUMP TO FILE# fire at 68 Meadow 011118105 Lane in the town of Brunswick. Raymertown Car-1 walked out of his house and stated that he had a heavy smoke column in the air and transmitted the second-alarm. Raymertown Car-1 arrived on scene and ordered that no one make entry, as the home was fully involved. The first arriving engine on scene deployed its crew members, had them pull multiple hand lines and started to knock down the heavy fire. Speigletown’s tanker arrived on scene shortly after the first-due and used its deck gun to knock down the remaining heavy fire. Raymertown’s tanker arrived on scene, connected to the dry hydrant and began to feed the scene with a good water supply from an iced-over pond. Firefighters on scene tried to recover items they could salvage from the home for the family. Crews conducted heavy overhaul on scene for a few hours. The residents were not home at the time of the fire. The family's home was a complete loss along with multiple ATVs and one car. The family also lost their six dogs in the fire. The home belonged to retired Troy Fire Captain Chuck Rebhun and his wife. Chuck Rebhun is a father to three daughters and a grandfather to three children. Chuck served the residents of the city of Troy for 30-years. The Rebhun family was known for willing to help anyone in need. The family is in need of help, as they lost everything they owned. A GoFundMe page has been started for the family: https://www.gofundme.com/rebhun-family-fire-relief
