BATH – A warming center at the Hammondsport Volunteer Fire Station has been set up for residents affected by the natural gas outage in the Town of Wayne, according to Steuben County Emergency Services Director Tim Marshall. Marshall said the center has been set up following a NYSEG report that between as many as 250-350 households are without heat after a natural gas system malfunction. Estimated restoration could take as long as 18 to 24 hours, according to NYSEG. Marshall urged residents to take advantage of the Hammondsport fire station’s warming center which will be staffed by American Red Cross volunteers and is located on State Route 54 in Hammondsport. "The wind chill advisory is still in effect until 7 p.m. Monday," Marshall said. "Temperatures in Wayne are in the single digits now and will drop significantly tonight." Marshall said residents needing transportation to the warming center in Hammondsport should call the Wayne Fire Department at (607) 292-3380.
