GUILDERLAND — The weather may already be very summery, but it will be a few more weeks before town residents can cool off in the pool at Tawasentha Park.

As the town works to define “abandoned” in its law, three properties ravaged by fire remain vacant — a mansion reduced to rubble, a motel that still stands, and the shell of a home.

The town says the property at 7 Ayre Dr. in Guilderland, which was destroyed last January, could be an “attractive nuisance,” or a dangerous site.

The barns were a total loss, but four miniature horses were removed safely.

According to the Albany County assessment rolls, the house, which stands on 1.09 acres, had a full market value of $190,795.

GUILDERLAND — The call came in at 12:34 a.m. on Tuesday, said McKownville Fire Chief Russ Becker, who responded to a fire in a dormitory on the University at Albany campus on Feb. 23.

The fire was in a third-floor suite in Oneida Hall in Indian Quad, said the university’s director of media relations, Karl Luntta.

One family member, Christine Sawyer, 51, remains hospitalized.

GUILDERLAND — As the community rallies to raise funds for the seven extended family members who lost their McKownville home to fire last week, five of the six who were injured in the fire are improving.
