First responders kept busy with multiple incidents occurring across the county
CHENANGO COUNTY – A number of incidents occurring across the county yesterday and early this morning kept first responders busy.
• The Greene Fire Department responded to reports of smoke coming out of an apartment at approximately 12:04 p.m. yesterday at the senior housing complex in Greene located at 25 Birdsall St. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered the smoke was mostly due to an open flame on a stove in one apartment. Responders extinguished the fire with ease but many residents were temporarily evacuated due to the smoke. No injures were reported.
• Another more damaging fire occurred late last night at approximately 11:18 p.m. in the Town of North Norwich. The North Norwich Fire Department – with mutual aid from the Norwich and Sherburne fire departments – responded to a garage fire at 160 county Road 23A. The fire approached conflagration levels, causing extensive damage to the building and engulfing one vehicle housed within before it was successfully doused by firefighters at approximately 11:48 p.m. First responders stayed on the scene for approximately one more hour before returning to their respective stations at 1 a.m.
Flooding during the early morning hours temporarily shut down a number of roadways throughout the county.
• At approximately 2:30 a.m., first responders traveled to the intersection of county Road 220 and Loomis Road in the Town of McDonough to tackle flood related issues. It was reported that an estimated 50 yards of roadway was covered in approximately five inches of running water which was carrying rocks and branchs across the road. As a result, first responders temporarily shut down the road to traffic for a little more than one hour before the situation cleared.
• At approximately 3:10 a.m. flood related issues forced sections of county Road 32 and county Road 36 in Norwich to close for approximately one hour. Multiple portions of county Road 32 witnessed flowing water and debris.
• At 4 a.m. this morning, Round Road in Oxford was shut down due to flooding after approximately 200 feet of roadway was submerged in an estimated foot of running water. The area near to the intersection of Lyon Brook Road and county Road 32 in the Town of Oxford was also temporarily shut down due to running water and debris flowing over the roadway.
• As of deadline, the Guildford Fire Department was still in the process of pumping several feet of water out of the Guilford Post Office. The building is located on county Road 35 in the Hamlet of Guilford.
More rain is on the radar for today and the potential for more flooding remains. Areas which received extensive amounts of rainfall earlier this morning are more susceptible to flash flooding related issues.
Three motor vehicle accidents also occurred yesterday none of which resulted in injury nor any major property damage.
