The Delhi Township Fire Department was dispatched to a house fire at 3369 Wirt Rd at 2:02 in the morning on Friday, December 16, 2005. First units to arrive at this last house on a dead end street in Alaiedon Township found a one and two story farmhouse with fire through the roof of the one story portion. Mutual aid tankers and manpower were requested from the Mason and Dansville fire departments. As firefighters initiated an attack on the flames, a large diameter supply hose was laid 1/4 mile to the entrance of the street in order for tankers to supply water without getting blocked in. This home was vacant at the time of the fire and undergoing renovations and with the extent of the fire on arrival this was attacked from the exterior.
