On October 5, 2025, at 9:30 AM, the Defreestville Fire Department, Wynantskill Fire Department, & North Greenbush Ambulance was dispatched to 169 Morner Road for a reported camper on fire. Defreestville car three arrived on scene and established command and notified the dispatcher that he had a camper on fire with smoke pushing from it and a barn in close proximity and as a precaution requested a structural box alarm to be transmitted bringing the Clinton Heights Fire Department to the scene with their rapid intervention team. The chief on scene conducted a full size up of the situation and did not open up the camper to provide any oxygen to the fire.

Engine 9-7 arrived on scene and deployed an inch and three-quarter hand line to the side door of the camper and firefighters opened up the door and began to knock down the fire condition inside of the camper before it could get out of hand. Within a short period of time, engine 9–6 arrived on scene behind the first due engine along with mutual aid from the Wynantskill Fire Department, and Clinton Heights Fire Department. The driver from the first due engine company established a water supply with engine 9–6. Firefighters continued to conduct suppression efforts for a short period of time.

Firefighters were able to bring the incident under control less than 15 minutes. Due to the first due fire chief recognizing the smoke conditions on scene and not opening the door of the camper this prevented the fire from expanding past the interior portion of the camper. No injuries were reported. Firefighters remained on scene for an extended period of time conducting overhaul while fire investigators worked to determine the cause of the fire. Firefighters went back into service on scene about one hour after the start time of the incident. This is the second camper fire firefighters in the district have faced in the last month.
