Press Release

1/22/2020 22:31 - AFD and AREMS was toned for a structure fire at Potter Lumber Company on Potter Rd in the Town of Allegany. Chief Stady arrived on scene and declared a working fire. Due to the large industrial building and large amount of timber within the building, a large mutual aid request was placed to include Westons Mills, Knapp Creek, Town of Olean, Hinsdale, Limestone, City of Olean, Portville, Cuba, Humphrey, Deputy 4, and National Grid. Engine 31 arrived on scene and began an interior fire attack while the Truck 6 crew set the tower and went to the roof. Due to the sprinkler system and an aggressive interior attack, the fire damage was contained to the electrical room and a small portion of the roof above the mill. We would like to thank all the mutual aid departments that responded and the multiple standby companies that were covering the mutual aid districts. The fire investigation team has ruled the fire accidental in nature. All units were clear of the fire scene around 4:30am. ... See MoreSee Less
