By Billie Owens

A series of four explosions were heard, and smoke reported showing after each one, at a residence across the road from S&S limo service in Le Roy. It's at or near the junction of Route 5 and East Bethany - Le Roy Road. Le Roy police at the scene report nothing showing. Le Roy fire responded and called for all equipment to be held in quarters.

UPDATE 1:35 p.m.: This is a farmer's attempt to rid his property of pesky woodchucks. "There will be several more explosions," says a firefighter, "...This is a matter for police, there's nothing we can do here." Le Roy fire is back in service.

UPDATE 1:46 p.m.: The owner of the limo company wants to talk with police about his concerns regarding this "agricultural operation."
