Description Of Incident: Working Structure Fire in a 2 1/2 story wood frame multiple occupancy. Some confusion originally as to the location of the alarm, originally Wallkill FD and Wallkill VAC was dispatched to 55 Bona Venture Ave. for a reported working fire and the Walden FD (Orange) was dispatched to 55 Second St. for a reported working fire. Due to the house being on the corner the first caller thought the fire was at 55 Second St. and with being on a cell phone was tranfered to Orange Co. 911. The same thing happened about a year ago when Pine Bush FD was dispatched to fire on Bruyn Ave. turned out to be in Wallkill on Bruyn Turnpike.
