PHILMONT N.Y. (NEWS10)—Early Friday morning, a house fire broke out at 29 Prospect St. in the Village of Philmont. On scene, the Philmont Fire Department confirmed to the New York State Police the house was unoccupied.
A former resident of the home who lived there growing up as a child was distraught to see the place of so many memories gutted by fire.

“Memories a lot of good memories,” Darren Babjeck recounted Friday.

He said he still hopes that the home can be fixed or if not, he would like to buy the property.
