On Sunday August 12, 2007, at 1540 hours, Engine 62 (Muholland) and Tanker 6 (Montgomery, Jr) were alerted to Route 4 and Chaney Road in Company 5's (Dunkirk) area along with north-side units for the house fire. First in units arrived to find heavy fire showing from a vacant two-story farm house. Engine 62 arrived on location and assisted units with extingushing the fire via defensive operations. Once the bulk of the fire was contained, units made progress inside and extinguished all remaining fire. Tanker 6 was utilized for Water Supply. The 8 Huntingtown Volunteers cleared the scene at 1836 hours.

With the 2 Huntingtown crews operating on this fire, several crews remained in quarters and responded on a serious auto accident with extrication. See the previous story for details and pictures.
