Approximately five Bard College students were displaced from dorm rooms after a fire, Tivoli Fire Chief Marc Hildenbrand said.
No students or firefighters were injured, he said. Firefighters responded to Robbins dormitory around 10 p.m. Sunday.
The fire originated on a first-floor porch and fire spread into the accompanying dorm room, but “the sprinklers slowed it down,” Hildenbrand said.
“When we first pulled up we encountered heavy smoke conditions,” he said. “As soon as we had guys packed up and ready and hose lines ready, we made entry and found the origin of fire and attacked it from the exterior and interior on the porch.”
The fire was put out within 15 minutes but the smoke wasn’t cleared from the three-story dorm until near 3 a.m. when the rest of the students were allowed back into their rooms, Hildenbrand said.
Mark Primoff, Bard College spokesman, said there are 176 rooms at Robbins with 244 beds. He added that no students were injured and that the five students were housed in other available dorm rooms on campus.
“We are incredibly thankful for the response from the local fire teams, Rhinebeck, Red Hook, Tivoli, and Clermont, that responded,” Primoff said. “They contained the fire very quickly, and we are gratified to have such strong community support.”
Robbins dorm houses “upper college students,” according to Bard College’s website.
The cause of fire is under investigation by the Dutchess County Fire Investigation Division.
Clermont, Hillside, Milan, Red Hook and Rhinebeck fire departments assisted on scene in addition to the state Office of Fire Prevention and Control, the Dutchess County Cause and Origin team, Red Hook police and the Dutchess County Sheriff’s office Hildenbrand said.

Save money on books, school supplies and everything you want to enjoy college! Financial aid, back in the olden days meant grants, scholarships, work study jobs. Loans were part of the package, but since they are available, ‘common thought’ was it is not financial aid – it was however a low interest loan. If you’re dependent on your parents, and they are below a certain income, most colleges give you much monies to help you attend their school. The middle class student with 2 working parents pays much more for their child to attend school and that student often can’t get work study job on campus. Those jobs are limited to the kids with financial aid.
If you can, or your parents can, to lower your loan debt when you leave school, if you have any monies, try to pay at least the interest while you are in school. Many loans start adding interest the day they are used to pay for school. So a $10,000 loan becomes a $12,000 amount when you leave school (example each loan is different) If you pay the interest (example $25 per month) then the $10,000 loan is only $10,000 when you leave school.
