Truck To Early Morning Garage Fire In Liverpool

Shortly before 0300 Thursday morning volunteers from the Liverpool and Moyers Corners Fire Departments were called to a reported garage fire at 3929 Pawnee Drive.  Liverpool C-3 (Muldoon) arrived and reported smoke showing from an attached garage.  Liverpool E-1 (McGillis) arrived first due with a hydrant in front of the neighboring structure.

Upon arrival of Moyers Corners Truck 2 (Lt. Driscoll), the crew was split, with half assisting with forcible entry to the overhead garage door and a primary search of the second floor, and the other half pulling a second line.  The fire was contained to the garage, with the remainder of the residence sustaining minor smoke and water damage.

The fire is believed to have been caused by ashes left in a recycling bin.  Other units operating at the scene were Liverpool E-2, E-3, R-1, and Baldwinsville R-6 for RIT.  Truck 2 and Battalion 2 (Race) cleared in approximately one hour.
