In the early morning hours of Monday, November 7, Brockport Firefighters and mutual aid crews from Spencerport, Churchville, Murray, Hilton, Kendall, and Bergen responded to a reported structure fire at 147 Shumway Road in Sweden with the occupant inside suffering from trouble breathing. First arriving personnel indicated nothing showing from the exterior, however a heavy smoke condition was apparent as crews entered the home. The entry team came upon the female resident on the floor and immediately extricated her from the hot zone to an awaiting ambulance. She was transported to Strong Hospital where she was last reported in stable condition and able to speak with hospital staff and fire investigators. Chief Scott Wainwright reports the family is beyond appreciative of the efforts everyone put forth for their mother. In addition to the resident, crews rescued one dog and five cats from the home.
