| At 15:02, Canton Fire Department, Canton Rescue, and SLC Car 4 were dispatched to Bordeau Bros for a reported fire in a grain bin. Assistant Chief Johnson arrived on scene within minutes and confirmed an active fire in an overhead grain bin silo, and assumed command of the incident. Due to the increased risk of possible escalation, command requested mutual aid from Potsdam Fire for Tower 5 (as Canton Tower 1 was out of service for repairs) and tankers from Potsdam Fire, West Potsdam Fire, Pierrepont Fire, and Pyrites Fire. It was decided by command, in consultation with facility personnel, to empty the grain bin in order to reach and extinguish the burning material. All units cleared the scene at 18:08.
At 16:15, a motor vehicle accident occurred in front of the fire incident on Route 11 involving a car and tractor trailer. Canton Fire and Rescue, along with mutual aid units, responded to the scene. Traffic was temporarily rerouted around the area until the roadway was cleared. All units cleared the motor vehicle accident call at 17:56. |
