Firefighters from the Potsdam Fire Department responded on mutual aid to assist the Parishville Fire and Rescue at a reported structure fire at approximately 3:40 p.m. on March 20.

Dispatch confirmed a working fire immediately after the initial call, prompting other agencies to respond. The Potsdam TA-100 arrived first and stretched several handlines as workers conducted a 360-degree size-up to confirm fire throughout the abandoned property.

Because of the structure's state and age, firefighters used defensive tactics to safeguard neighboring exposures and decrease crew risk. Potsdam Truck 5 was stationed at the A-D corner to apply water from above.

The Hannawa Falls Fire Department, Colton Fire Department, Pierrepont Fire Department, Hopkinton-Fort Jackson Fire Department, and West Stockholm Fire Department all contributed mutual aid and supplied station coverage.
