On Sunday, July 26th at 02:05, the Chittenango Volunteer Fire Department and mutual aid companies were dispatched by Madison County 911 Center for a reported deck on fire on Bette Circle. Chittenango Police arrived on scene to find a house with heavy fire from behind the residence.
Chittenango Chiefs arrived shortly thereafter, confirming a two-story type-5 residential house with heavy fire on the Charlie-Delta corner and exposures to another residence. A Working Structure Fire was then declared by command.
Fayetteville Ladder 20 arrived first with Chittenango Ladder 687 close behind. Both trucks immediately deployed hand lines to extinguish the fire while setting up their aerial ladders and connecting supply lines to a fire hydrant located across the street.
Crews from North Chittenango, Bridgeport, and Manlius soon arrived and assisted extinguishing the fire, checking for extension, overhauling, and protecting the residents’ belongings. Canastota, initially called to standby on Chittenango’s floor, was moved up to the scene for additional manpower. Cazenovia was then activated to standby at Chittenango.
At 02:36, the fire was declared under control as crews continued to extinguish hotspots, overhaul the burned contents, and began picking up equipment. At 04:36, all units returned to service and command was terminated.
