LOSS: Thursday’s fire required assistance from 10 departments
Warm weather and a stubborn fire kept crews from 10 fire departments — and two counties — busy Thursday.
Just before 4 p.m., the Medina Fire Department was dispatched for a reported structure fire at 429 Park Ave. in the Village. During the dispatch, Fire Captain R.J. Morgan was passing the scene and immediately called on location and established command. Morgan declared a working fire in a two and a half story, wood frame, multi-family dwelling and requested a second alarm.
In all, the fire reached a fourth alarm, bringing a total of 10 departments to the scene and many more departments were on stand by at the Medina Fire Station and various other stations throughout the county.
The fire was declared under control at 5:33 p.m.
Assisting at the scene were crews from Shelby, Lyndonville, Ridgeway, East Shelby, Middleport, Albion, Holley, COVA, and Tri-Town Ambulance.
The fire was investigated by Fire Investigators from the Orleans County Emergency Management Office Fire Investigation Unit. Fire investigators have deemed the fire is accidental in nature, but the investigation to the exact cause is still on going.
All occupants of the structure were able to exit the building safely. One resident was transported to Medina Memorial Hospital for evaluation. One firefighter was also transported to Medina Memorial Hospital for evaluation after over-exertion. The occupants of the structure, which is uninhabitable, were assisted by members of the American Red Cross of Orleans County.
All fire units were clear of the scene shortly after 10 p.m.
Jeffrey Elsenheimer Jr. is the public information officer for the Medina Fire Department.
