5/9/18 - Stockbridge house fire, 2254 Burden Rd

At 11:37 AM on Wednesday, May 9, 2018, the Stockbridge (SAESA), Dansville and Unadilla Twp fire departments were dispatched to a house fire at the corner of Burden & Swan Rds. A passerby reported the fire, advising flames were showing on one side of the house. When the first fire units arrived, command advised the home was well involved and this would be a defensive attack. As personnel began knocking down the flames, an additional tanker was requested from the NIESA-Leroy Twp Fire Department. Strong winds from the south gave the fire plenty of air and made the job of extinguishing the flames more difficult. The entire home was lost. No one was home when firefighters arrived, several pets perished from the fire.
