OSWEGO, NY – Oswego Fire Department personnel responded to 158 W. Seneca St. at 10:39 a.m. today (April 29) to a reported vehicle
fire in close proximity to structures.

According to witnesses on the scene, a neighbor noticed smoke coming
from the garage, raised the door, and found the vehicle with smoke coming from under the hood.

The neighbor then rolled the vehicle out of the garage and awaited fire crews.

Personnel pulled hoselines to douse the vehicle, while checking on the exposures.

While the vehicle was a total loss, the garage sustained only minor smoke and heat damage, the rear of the house received heat damage, and the house next door and a fence was damaged as well.

No injuries were reported.

All personnel were back in service after about 45 minutes.
