Water shortage blamed for Port Jervis High blaze
A February Port Jervis fire gutted the high school top floor, with estimates placing losses at about $30,000. Officials cited water shortage and frozen hydrants as key factors, noting no wind allowed adjacent property to be spared. Firefighters saved parts of the second floor, the Dutch Reformed Church nearby was scorched, and many books and records from the commercial department were rescued. The school board planned rebuilding and may repurpose grammar schools for classes.
