Fire saves four as patrolmen rescue residents in Glens Falls
Patrolmen John Otruba and Alexander Macurs kicked in a door at 39 Park St after a blaze began at Fraiser Paint and Uniforms Galore. Macurs crawled through flames with a drunken passerby’s coat to reach Barnard Cooper and family on the second floor, then led them to a roof until firefighters evacuated them. The fire was controlled by 7 am with no injuries besides smoke inhalation. The suspect who followed the officers escaped custody, and the cause remained unknown.

County and CSEA in Southern Saratoga county fight to factfinder
The 450 county workers represented by CSEA in sheriff health highway and other departments go to a factfinding hearing after negotiations stalled since December 31.
