This morning at approximately 0331hrs, we were dispatched to a reported cabin fire on Stafford Rd in the Town of Villanova. C-131 arrived and confirmed a working fire. E-131 arrived and laid in a 4" supply line due to the cabin being approximately 150' from the road then stretched a 200' 1 3/4" preconnect to the front door. R-191(Bay Creek) arrived and split their crew. 1 crew was FAST and the other crew assisted with fire suppression and pulled a second line from E-131. T-161(Sheridan) supplied E-131. Crews were very aggressive and had the fire knocked down within 15 minutes. Crews then spent an extended time doing overhaul. The cabin was occupied by its owners at the time of the fire. The Chautauqua County Fire Investigation Team came out after the fire was out to determine an origin and cause.No injuries were reported. Some of the occupants were checked out for smoke inhalation but they were ok.We would like to thank our members and the mutual aid depts who came out to assist with the fire.
