The rear storage area and compressor room were fully
involved when firefighters arrived. Severe structural
damage was contained to the direct area with no actual fire
damage done to the main building. Results of the
investigation by the NYS OFPC indicated that the fire
originated on the exterior wall where plastic containers were
stored and traveled up the wall and into the storage
area. The storage area which was loaded with combustible
materials was responsible for extension into the compressor
room area.
Mutual Aid man-power and equipment was supplied by Fire
Departments representing Interlaken, Mecklenburg, Ovid,
Enfield, Hector and the City of Ithaca's Ladder truck.
