According to John Conrad, Department Public Information
Officer, a quick attack by Bath fire crews knocked down the flames rapidly
keeping fire and water damage minimal to a small area in one room and smoke
throughout the rest. At this time Savona was sent to the Bath station to
standby and Kanona was requested to standby at their station. Pulteney was
cancelled at this time as well. The Steuben County Fire Investigation team was
called to aid in determining the cause of the fire which is ongoing at this
time.
The building was owned and occupied by the Deb Harer State Farm
Insurance Company, and no one was in the building at the time the fire broke
out.
