(PRESS RELEASE) – On June 15, 2024, at 5:48 am, Swanton Fire & Rescue, with automatic aid from the Delta Community Fire Department, was dispatched to 3261 County Road F for a reported structure fire.
Upon arrival at the scene crews noted a well involved structure with heavy fire conditions and were met with difficult circumstances due to the structure being well off the roadway and approximately 500’ from the driveway.
Crews were advised by the owners that the structure was not occupied, and crews initiated a defensive fire attack strategy on the structure. Approximately one hour into the incident, the fire was deemed under control.
This structure was later deemed to be a mid-sized “lake house” that was not a regularly habited structure and was deemed a total loss in the fire. This fire has been ruled accidental in nature.
Swanton Fire & Rescue was assisted on this incident by the following agencies: Fulton County Communications; Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, Delta Community Fire Department, Metamora Fire Department, Providence Township Fire Department, Whitehouse Fire Department and Liberty Center Fire & Rescue.
There are no firefighter or civilian injuries to report currently. Crews cleared the scene at 9:24 am.
