Last evening, many of you may have watched the ignition of a fire and the response of emergency crews to a fire associated with the York-Leicester Field Days fireworks display at York Central School.

The fire occurred in a field near the American Rock Salt bagging plant and the GW Railroad. Thanks to the quick response and coordinated efforts of all agencies involved, crews were able to gain access to the area, rapidly suppress the fire, and prevent further spread.

We are especially grateful to the Leicester and Cuylerville Fire Departments for standing by with us during the event, allowing for an immediate response while additional personnel remained on scene to ensure the fireworks display continued safely.

We also extend our appreciation to the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office and Livingston County EMS for their continued support, both at the event and during the emergency response.

Most importantly, there were no injuries, and the fire was brought under control quickly. Thank you to everyone who worked together to ensure the safety of our community throughout the evening.
