Past this building on the way home tonight. Completely gutted by the fire. Roof is gone.
 
Here's some video about 30 minutes into the fire
Washingtonville NY 4 Alarm Fire Main Street

I was one of the first on scene and arrived to find heavy smoke PUSHING from the first through the third floor on sides 1 and 3. The guys from my department put forth a tremendous effort, but the end result was a loss of the fire building and exposure 4. There were quite a few "hairy" moments for guys operating on the interior.
