The building at 1150 Main St. was next to Hoss’ Country Corner Store, the same area which was hit by major flooding at a failed spillway under state Route 30 in July.

The second floor of the building had an apartment and the first floor had a carpentry workshop, Tupper Lake Volunteer Fire Department Chief Royce Cole said.

Cole said everyone was able to get out of the building without harm. Jenna Saunders, a friend of the family living there, said their three cats were not able to make it out.

Nathan Hosley, who owns the building, thanked the fire departments, other officials and any volunteers who assisted in fighting the fire.

“Everyone is safe but a family lost their home, please think of them,” he wrote in an email. “It’s been a tough day but thankfully everyone safe.”

Saunders created a GoFundMe page for her friends, which had raised $2,620 as of 6:30 p.m. Monday. The donation site can be found at tinyurl.com/2pwrvhst.

“Around 5:45 a.m., Kelly, her son Josh, her daughter in law Emily and her 6 year old grandson were woken up to their home in flames,” Saunders wrote in the description. “They lost EVERYTHING in their home.

“She has always given her shirt off her back and now it’s time we do the same for them!” Saunders added.

Fire departments from Long Lake, Tupper Lake, Newcomb, Blue Mountain Lake and Indian Lake responded, as did the Long Lake Rescue Squad and Long Lake Water Department and Slade Construction, according to Hosley.

Cole said his department got the call for mutual aid just before 6 a.m.

Cole’s department initially responded with an engine, a tanker and firefighters, but brought over its tower ladder truck soon after arriving to fight the blaze from the air.

After they arrived, he said heavy fire in the upstairs apartment lasted for around half an hour.

He did not know exactly how many gallons were used but knew it was a lot.

“We put a lot on,” Cole said. “We flowed water for a solid two hours.”

The building was reduced to rubble. Cole said there was an excavator nearby from work repairing the bridge where flooding damaged the bridge and road. This excavator was put to use picking apart the structure, which Cole said made fighting the fire a lot easier.

Cole said no suspected cause has been named so far. An investigator was not on scene yet when his department left at 10 or 10:30 a.m.

Long Lake fire Chief Marty Pierce did not immediately respond for comment by deadline Monday.
