Friday, 12 March 2010 |
|
The Tri-Town Fire Co. (Dept 47) of Ulysses announced today that it has been notified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Congressman Glenn Thompson's office that it has been awarded a grant in the amount of $53,913 through the Department of Homeland Security's Assistance to Firefighters Grant program. The grant was awarded under the program's Operations and Safety section and will be used to purchase new personal protective equipment (PPE) for 25 of the department's active firefighters. This will include turnout coats, bunker pants, helmets, boots, protective hoods and gloves. The grant award will also cover the cost of several equipment racks for storage of the equipment in a ready state. Chief of the Department Roy Hunt stated that this grant will allow the department to provide the most up-to-date protective gear to its most active members, particularly those that are involved in interior fire attack operations, and will help to provide for a greater degree of safety for firefighters. The department is also currently awaiting word on a grant application that was submitted through the AFG Vehicle Replacement program for the purchase of a new Four-Wheel-Drive Engine/Rescue unit. If awarded that grant the vehicle purchased would replace a total of three vehicles in the department's fleet. |

Photos by Robin Freeman At approximately 0955 hrs on Sunday Dec. 6th Tioga County 9-1-1 received a call for a reported structure fire on Cowburn Rd. near the Turton Rd. in Ulysses Twp. Ulysses Dept 47, Genesee Dept 37 and Galeton Dept 10 were dispatched to respond. Shortly after dispatch Chief 47 (Roy Hunt) reported heavy smoke showing while still enroute. Upon arrival on scene Chief Hunt reported a single story structure heavily involved with a large volume of fire showing on the east end of the structure and heavy smoke issuing from the west end of the building.
Due to deteriorating conditions an exterior attack was conducted. Harrison Twp Dept 20 was also requested to respond with one engine requested to the scene and a second engine to establish water supply operations. Shortly after the arrival of first due units the structure began to collapse. Units were on scene for several hours. The structure was completely destroyed. 
More photos of the Turton fire can be found in our Photo Gallery Within 24 hours the same departments would respond to two additional structure fire calls in the area. The first occurring in Brookland on the Fox Hill Rd. Due to the quick action of a Dept 47 chief officer that lives in the area damage was contained to the area around the chimney. The second call, which came in while crews were still at the Fox Hill scene, was for a chimney fire on the White Knowle Rd in Harrison Twp. Fortunately damage was confined to the area of the chimney in that blaze as well.
