This evening crews responded to a 10.8 acre slow moving ground-cover fire caused by a downed power line. NYS Forest Rangers and NYSEG also responded. We’re grateful for our Co. Dispatchers, and our neighboring departments that assisted at the scene with personnel and UTV’s. Chenango County EMS assisted with REHAB. No injuries were reported.
