Solvay Fire Department

Engine 11 to Lakeside last night for a small shed fire 🔥

Last night at 2145 an employee at a local facility called to report a large fire in the plant. Engine 11 arrived at 2148 locating fires throughout a very large cardboard drying unit and the ventilation system, which spread the fire throughout 3 floors. The unit’s sprinkler system activated, however it was unable to contain the blaze. It took roughly 45 minutes to extinguish the fires. Solvay firefighters operated for another 90 minutes exposing hidden smoldering fires. 50 firefighters responded from Solvay, Taunton, Fairmount, Liverpool, and Lakeside. Property damage was limited to the drying unit and ventilation system, no civilians were injured, 1 firefighter was transported to Upstate by AMR for a minor head injury, he has since been released. We would also like to thank the employees for their quick action and assistance during the fire.
