On Wednesday October 15th at 2147 hrs the Seneca County Communications Center dispatched the Seneca Falls Volunteer Fire Department, the Town of Seneca Falls Police Department , the Waterloo Fire Department, the Fayette Fire Department, the Geneva Fire Department, and North Seneca Ambulance for the electrical outlet on fire inside the residence. First arriving officer ( Assistant Chief Daily ) reported a 2 story residential with smoke showing and a hydrant directly across from the house. District Chief Farnsworth arrived right after 1464 and assumed IC. 1661 was assigned operations until 1462 arrived at which time Deputy Chief Larsen assumed that role. Seneca Falls Engine 1, Quint 1, Engine 3, and Squad 52 all responded. Assistant Chief Larsen, Assistant Chief Daily, Captain Donato, and Firefighter Pickard were the first crew through the door and had an excellent hit on the fire. Crews from Waterloo and Fayette arrived and assisted with extinguishment of fire on the outside along with ventilation. 1461 requested Canoga to standby at Seneca Falls Station while everyone was tied up. Crews operated for about an hour ensuring all pockets of hidden fire were found and extinguished. Other resources requested by IC included the Seneca County Fire Investigation team, Seneca County Code Enforcement, and Nyseg. Final units were clear a little after 2300 hrs.
