We ( Kowaliga Fire Dept ) responded the fire off Kamp Kiwanis Road.  The house was unoccupied and a total lose.

The lesson:   The fire was only noticed by a neighbor around 2am, and called in at that point.  We were able to contain the fire, and prevent it from spreading to surrounding structures and homes.   If the home owner had a simple alarm system, there is a very good chance we could have saved the majority of the home.  More importantly, if that neighbor had not happened to notice in the middle of the night, there is a good chance they would have been calling to report their house on fire.  

  Please work with people around you that are not full time and encourage them to have a simple alarm system to protect their homes and the surrounding homes.

As for people burning “leaves”  smh.
