Engine 21 responded to Moyers Corners this morning as the Rapid Intervention Team for a house fire.

Last night at 2145 an employee at a local facility called to report a large fire in the plant. Engine 11 arrived at 2148 locating fires throughout a very large cardboard drying unit and the ventilation system, which spread the fire throughout 3 floors. The unit’s sprinkler system activated, however it was unable to contain the blaze. It took roughly 45 minutes to extinguish the fires. Solvay firefighters operated for another 90 minutes exposing hidden smoldering fires. 50 firefighters responded from Solvay, Taunton, Fairmount, Liverpool, and Lakeside. Property damage was limited to the drying unit and ventilation system, no civilians were injured, 1 firefighter was transported to Upstate by AMR for a minor head injury, he has since been released. We would also like to thank the employees for their quick action and assistance during the fire.

In light of the inclement weather conditions, we kindly request that residents clear the snow from the fire hydrant closest to their premises. Our emergency responders carry shovels, but digging out a covered hydrant can lead to delays and increased fire damage. We are grateful for the community's cooperation and support during this time.

Yesterday evening while Engine 21 was covering North West for their parade, Engine 11 and the Truck responded to a chimney fire in Westvale. Our companies worked to quickly extinguish the fire and thoroughly check for extension into the structure. Thankfully, the fire was contained to the chimney. No firefighters or civilians were injured.
