CHENANGO COUNTY – There were a number of accidents that occurred over the weekend, though there were few injuries and none were reported as serious.

Not long after 10 a.m. on Sunday morning, a 911 call reported a fire on County Road 33 in Norwich. A shed containing a wood pile was on fire and was connected to the house. The Norwich, South New Berlin, Oxford, and North Norwich fire departments responded to the scene, as well as an ambulance from Sherburne.

“The crew on Engine 4 made a quick knock-down of the fire on the back side of the house and kept the fire from entering the main part of the home,” states the Chenango County Fire Alerts Facebook page. “Additional crews then started to extinguish the fire in the shed.”

They were able to quell the fire and keep it to one room of the house.

“Two excavators were used to knock the wood apart to speed up the overhaul process,” the page continued. “County Road 33 was shut down while crews were on scene. A great job by all departments involved.”
