There is a house on fire at 1081 Broadway Road, across from Warner Road, in Darien, according to a call to dispatch.
Alexander fire, along with Darien and Corfu are en route. It has gone to a second alarm.
A City of Batavia Fast Team is also called along with Mercy EMS. Bennington and Attica fire are also called.
UPDATE 1:50 p.m.: Traffic is being shut down at Route 20 and Harlow Road and at routes 20 and 77.
UPDATE 1:58 p.m.: National Grid is called. Corfu advised to muster all available manpower.
UPDATE 2:22 p.m.: The American Red Cross is called in to provide aid to one individual.
UPDATE 2:35 p.m.: "A car blew through the intersection at Harlow Road (which is closed to traffic at Route 20) and right into the back of him," says a firefighter. A car rear-ended a water tanker truck, creating more havoc and one less tanker at the fire. Mercy EMS at the fire scene are handling the incident. No word on injuries.
UPDATE 4:27 p.m. (by Howard): Emergency Management Coordinator Tim Yaeger just notified dispatch that Route 20 will be closed for at least another two hours. Right after, a truck got through the road block due to a "miscommunication" and a trooper is helping it make a three-point turn.
Also, the homeowner, Diane Allison is upset, displaced, but physically OK. Allison was worried about her cats and fire crews have started looking for them.
Eight fire companies responded to the scene.
I'll have pictures later.
