By Fire Driver Mark Maroney
January 22, 2023

On Sunday, January 22nd at 0159 hours, Potsdam Fire was requested to respond an engine to the bridge in Hannawa Falls for a structure fire on the Butternut Ridge Road. At 0206 hours, West Stockholm Fire, Potsdam Fire. Potsdam Rescue, and County Car 10 were then dispatched to 8231 US Highway 11 for a reported chimney fire with flames showing out of the top of wood stove and chimney. West Stockholm's Chief Torey Russell arrived on scene moments later and upgraded the call to a working structure fire and requested Potsdam Fire with Tanker, Manpower, Tower 5, and an engine to Lawrence Avenue to fill tankers off a hydrant. Brasher-Winthrop Fire was also requested for tankers and manpower to the scene. Colton Fire took Potsdam Fire assignment for the call in Hannawa Falls.

At 0212 hours, Tower 5 (J. Keleher) and Rescue 14 (C. Frost) responded to the scene. Tanker 100 (J. Farnsworth) responded a few minutes later. Engine 48 (J. Corbett) responded to Lawrence Avenue and opened up a fire hydrant to fill tankers.

On scene, firefighters worked with West Stockholm Fire and Brasher Winthrop Fire with extinguishing the stubborn fire due to construction of the house and the blown insulation. Firefighters used ground ladders to open areas for ventilation. Tower 5 was placed out front of the structure and used to ventilate the roof. Rescue 14's cascade system was used to fill air bottles used by firefighters on scene.

At 0240 hours, Potsdam Fire placed West Potsdam Fire on standby at their fire station. Potsdam Rescue provided scene standby during the call.

The cause of the fire is under investigation at the time of the fire. Potsdam Fire was in service at 0641 hours.

Units: Tower 5 (J. Keleher), Rescue 14 (C. Frost), Tanker 100 (J. Farnsworth), Engine 48 (J. Corbett)
