The front door to the apartment building at 7-9 Main St. in downtown Millerton hosts a sign bearing the words "Unsafe Structure. Stay out." A fire in the basement that started in the furnace filled the building with carbon monoxide, prompting emergency responders to evacuate the building.
MILLERTON — As many as 18 people, including four children, were displaced early Saturday morning after a basement furnace fire sent carbon monoxide and smoke through an apartment building at 7–9 Main Street just before 4:45 a.m.
Emergency and fire crews from Millerton, Amenia and Lakeville, Connecticut, responded to the scene and evacuated residents from the building, located between the Harney Tea Room and the Mercantile Photo Gallery. Firefighters extinguished the blaze and ventilated the building. No injuries were reported.
Millerton Fire Chief Keith Roger said the fire was contained to the furnace before crews were able to extinguish it. The fire caused high amounts of carbon monoxide to spread through the building, he said.
Roger said he observed the basement filling with smoke after forcing entry. Following the evacuation, crews worked to ventilate the building.
“Everyone worked great together,” Roger said, adding that he is proud of his department and grateful for the support from surrounding communities.
The Town of North East Medic 1 and Northern Dutchess Paramedics also responded to the scene to provide any necessary emergency medical services.
The American Red Cross also responded later in the day and is supporting two of the families with temporary housing and additional assistance.
The building did not sustain structural damage, though it is unlikely residents will be able to return in the near future. Mayor Jenn Najdek said the village’s code enforcement officer is in contact with the building’s owner, but there is no timeline for reentry.
“I want to acknowledge the Millerton Fire Department for opening up the doors all day for the displaced residents, and all of the volunteers involved,” Najdek said.
Assisted by the Millerton Fire Department, residents were allowed to enter the building for five minutes at a time to retrieve essential items, a measure intended to prevent additional exposure. Roger said that while the building is currently uninhabitable, residents will be permitted to return to retrieve belongings as conditions allow.
Roger said he was relieved that no one was seriously injured but expressed concern for the families who were forced to leave their homes.
“It’s unfortunate with some of these types of buildings that don’t get the proper attention they need,” he said.
A community-wide effort to support the displaced families began Saturday morning, bringing together the fire department, village and town officials, staff from the NorthEast-Millerton Library and the North East Community Center (NECC), among others.
Village Deputy Mayor Matt Hartzog said he arrived on the scene at about 10 a.m. to provide hands-on assistance. Along with the Red Cross and NECC, he helped supply families with essential items, including blankets, towels, toothbrushes, and a debit card loaded with funds for basic necessities.
“This is really an example of the community coming together,” Hartzog said. He added that community members who wish to help can donate to NECC, which provides critical resources to local families and residents.
Town Councilman Chris Mayville spent most of the day Saturday working alongside the fire department and elected officials to support the displaced residents.
"You appreciate living in communities like ours in times like these when you really see people coming together," Mayville said. “No matter what role people were in, it was comforting to see everyone come together to help.”
Mayville said he was particularly grateful for the Millerton Fire Department, which received four additional calls on Saturday. “They would respond to another call and come back and pick right back up where they left off.”
Two displaced residents required accessible transportation assistance that could accommodate a wheelchair. Library Director Rhiannon Leo-Jameson and Town Councilwoman Meg Winkler worked to identify possible options and made calls for help.
"It is heartening that our community can just react on a moment's notice and work together to try to resolve obstacles," Winkler said.
Leo-Jameson agreed.
“Millerton has always been a community that steps up,” she said. “It’s heartwarming to see public officials coming together to help.”

John was born on June 4, 1942, in Winsted, Connecticut, and raised in Norfolk, Connecticut, where he developed the values of faith, service, hard work, and deep devotion to family that defined his life.
A lifelong Catholic, John’s faith was a constant source of strength and guidance. His final parish was St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Wildwood, Florida, where he remained spiritually grounded and closely connected to his faith community.
John proudly served in the United States Army Reserve, attaining the rank of Staff Sergeant, reflecting his leadership, discipline, and commitment to service.

Following his state service, John continued his career with The Hartford Insurance Company until his full retirement in 2009.
An avid saltwater fisherman, John found peace and joy by the ocean. He spent countless weekends and summers at Race Point Beach in Cape Cod, pursuing his passion for striped bass fishing—traditions and memories that became deeply cherished by family and friends. John also was avid fan and supporter of the Boston Red Sox and UCONN girls basketball teams.
John was actively involved in fraternal and service organizations throughout his life. He was a proud member of the Southington Elks Lodge, where he served as Past Exalted Ruler, and was also affiliated with the Lions Club, the Falcon Club, and the American Legion. He was also a member of the Norfolk Connecticut volunteer fire as well as a charter member of Norfolk Ambulance.
Above all else, John’s greatest joy was his family. He is survived by his beloved wife, Deborah Barry; his son, Sean Barry, and daughter-in-law, Carmen Barry, of Colebrook, Connecticut; his daughter, Erin Barry, of New York, New York; his grandson, Edward; and his granddaughters, Lillian and Sarah, who were the pride and joy of his life. He is also survived by Lorraine McCafferty, the mother of his children, with whom he maintained a lifelong friendship.

LAKEVILLE — Frank Lalli died on April 27, 2026, of complications of multiple myeloma, at Calvary Hospital in New York City. He was born on Feb. 20,1942, and raised in Teaneck, New Jersey. He earned a BA at Miami University of Ohio and went on to have a long career in journalism.
Frank and his wife, Carole Lalli, lived in New York City where they raised their daughters, Carla and Nina. His life was enriched by his city, for its cultural treasures and for the simple pleasures of everyday life--“the street,” as he put it. The family have had second homes in Lakeville for more than 30 years where they enjoyed time off even more when their grandchildren, Leo, Cosmo, Gia and Remo came along.
Frank began his career as a 20-year-old reporter at the Bergen Evening Record, in New Jersey. He went on to be a writer and then West Coast Bureau Chief for Forbes magazine; Executive Editor at New West; City Editor at the Los Angeles Herald Examiner and spent 17 years at Time Inc, including five years as Managing Editor of Money magazine. He became Editor-in-Chief of George following the death of John F. Kennedy Jr. Frank’s journalism included his book, “Your Best Healthcare Now” (2016); he was the Healthcare Detective on NPR’s local station, Robinhood Radio, for several years. His work earned him many awards, but he was proudest of Magazine Publishers of America’s Champion of Diversity Award for his efforts to diversify the editorial staffs at Time Inc.
Frank’s greatest pleasures were reading, particularly on U.S. history and politics, travel in Italy, and the New York Yankees, but nothing came close to being at a table with family and friends. He will be missed.

EAST CANAAN — Lawrence Fredrick Twordusky Jr., 79, of East Canaan, Connecticut, formerly of Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on May 1, 2026, surrounded by his family after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. A cherished husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, Larry will be deeply missed by all who knew him, especially his faithful dog, Barney.
Larry was born on Feb. 2, 1947, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Lawrence and Esther Twordusky. He graduated from Tunkhannock Area High School and later from Johnson Technical School. In 1969, he married his high school sweetheart, Linda LaBar, before serving in the United States Air Force, where he was stationed in Mountain Home, Idaho.
Larry dedicated many years of service to Procter & Gamble, where he worked in various roles before retiring. A lifelong woodworker, he found great joy in carpentry and was known for his skill and meticulous craftsmanship. From building his own home to helping his daughters with home repairs, Larry’s handmade furniture and creations were treasured by those he loved. Larry had a deep appreciation for the outdoors. From a young age, he enjoyed hunting and fishing, and many of his most memorable stories came from time spent in the woods or out on the water.
Larry is survived by his beloved wife of 57 years, Linda; his daughters, Lori Twordusky (her fiancé, Jason English) of Bear Creek, Pennsylvania, and Amy Helminiak (Shane) of East Canaan, Connecticut; his granddaughters, Megan Woronko (her fiancé, Vance Collier) and Wren and Briar Helminiak; his great-granddaughter, Harper Collier; his sister, Sue Farrell of Montrose, Pennsylvania; and several nieces and nephews.
The family kindly asks that, if Larry touched your life in any way, you consider making a donation in his memory to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research:https://give.michaeljfox.org
