Mayfield FD units responded to the scene and upon arrival, units located a multi family residence engulfed in flames. All occupants were able to exit the structure but a family dog did perish in the fire. The Pleasant Square Fire Company and Broadalbin-Kennyetto Fire Company were requested to the scene with tankers and air pack qualified. Meco Volunteer Fire Company was on standby for Pleasant Square at the Meco fire station. Village of Mayfield DPW, New York State Troop G Mayfield Barracks, Fulton County Emergency Management, Fulton County Fire Investigation Team, Fulton County EMS Coordinators, Mayfield Fire Department Auxiliary, NY State Fire, and GAVAC also responded to the scene. The Red Cross was contacted to assist the families.
Thank You to all who assisted.
6 Calls Due To Heavy Rainfall
Yesterday evening, we responded to 6 calls for service within an hour starting at 14:37, due to the heavy rainfall that occurred. At one point, the decision was made to remove and split our apparatus between both sides of our station, as it became inaccessible. All roads are back open at this time.
Thank you to the Fulton County Highway Dept. for their assistance!
