Structure Fire, 32521 County Route 179 | ||
---|---|---|
Date | 1/3/11 | Wakened by a loud "bang", the residents of this 1870 building found a front room well involved in fire. In it's
early days, the building served as a store, and for a while the upstairs served as a meeting hall for the Oddfellows. The old
construction, as well as recent renovations, resulted in many void spaces and early transmission to the attic spaces. Assistance was provided by Clayton and LaFargeville on the initial dispatch, as well as Chaumont and Three Mile Bay on a second alarm, and by Town of Watertown with their tower, as Clayton's ladder was out of service. Pictures of the incident can be found here. |

Date | 03/25/04 | An estimated 800 large bales were discovered afire in the early morning hours. Numerous tankers were called to provide the water that would be necessary to douse the fire. Lack of an available trackhoe limited overhaul in the morning, so units returned after noon to finish the job.
