8/28/19 - Mason industrial fire, 805 Hull Rd
At about 3 PM on Wednesday, August 28, 2019, the Mason Fire Department was dispatched for a fire in the insulation in a wall at Capital Steel & Wire, 805 Hull Rd. The Delhi Township and Leslie fire departments were also dispatched on automatic aid. The first arriving command reported light smoke showing inside a very large industrial building and requested two more tankers. The Onondaga and Dansville fire departments responded to this request. Building employees had already been trying to extinguish the fire and were able to direct fire crews to the area of concern. Firefighters used ground ladders and a scissor lift already in place to access the concealed spaces. Delhi Township put their aerial up to check for signs of extension from the roof. Firefighters were able to remove the insulation and extinguish the smoldering fire before it spread any further in the building. The responding tankers were staged and released when it was determined they would not be needed.
