The Central and Northern New York Chapter of the American Red Cross provided emergency assistance to three adults after an early-morning fire on Hunter Road in LaFargeville on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026.
The assistance included financial support for necessities such as shelter, food and clothing. Red Cross volunteers also provided health services, personal-care kits and blankets.
The chapter serves Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties. Its local response work includes assisting people affected by home fires and other emergencies across the region.
People affected by a home fire should call 911 first, notify family members that they are safe and stay out of a damaged home until fire officials say it is safe. Local Red Cross assistance is available through the chapter’s Watertown office at (315) 782-4410, its Fort Drum office at (315) 772-6561 or the chapter’s main line at 315-234-2200.
The LaFargeville Volunteer Fire Department lists 315-658-2919 as its phone number. Additional information about fire recovery is available through the American Red Cross home-fire recovery guide.
