Multiple City of Poughkeepsie homes on Duane Street were ravaged by a blaze late Tuesday night.
Mayor Rob Rolison said the fire likely originated at 13 Duane St., which appears to have sustained extensive damage, before spreading to the two adjacent structures, 11 and 15 Duane St.
The structures are on the southern side of the street, near the intersection with Talmadge Street. Flames towered above the buildings late Tuesday as firefighters used hoses from the ground and atop ladders.
Both 11 and 15 Duane St. are three-level structures, sandwiching the two-level 13 Duane St., and situated closely together on the one-way road.
Each of the buildings are multiple-family residential units, according to Dutchess County records. Each of the buildings date back a century; 11 Duane St. was built in 1890, while 13 and 15 Duane St. were built in 1900 and 1920, respectively, according to the county.

The City of Poughkeepsie Fire Department received aid from several agencies, including the Arlington Fire District and the Fairview Fire District among others, Rolison said.
One firefighter suffered "non-serious" injuries at the scene and was taken to a local hospital, Rolison said. He said he was unaware of any individuals trapped as a result of the blaze.
Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. reported an outage in the area affecting 2,050 customers, which began at 10:01 p.m. As of 12:05 a.m., 944 customers remained without power with restoration estimated for 2 a.m.
In a post on its Facebook page, the City of Poughkeepsie Police Department advised residents to avoid roads in the area of Duane Street due to the fire. The post attributed the power outage to "live wires" at the scene.
