Firefighters responded to a structure fire this morning at the residence of Kevin McCollum, 6069 U.S. Highway 11 next door to Rt. 11 Trucking.
The call came in at 8:41 a.m. and Canton firefighters were at the scene att 8:51 a.m. Sgt. Ryan Cole was at the scene and confirmed there were flames and smoke visibile.
Assistant Chief Shawn McGregor arrived at the scene and indicated it was a working fire and requested the tanker truck task force be dispatched, according to Crowe.
Members were confronted with a primarily exterior fire going up the outside wall of the house to the eaves. Personnel stretched initial handlines to knock down the fire then proceeded inside the residence to stop any spread, Crowe reported.
"It was a good knockdown and save," he remarked.
