Route 19 by train blocked during fire response

By Howard B. Owens

I missed the details of the start of this call, but Le Roy Fire is responding to a fire alarm (first responder reports "nothing showing"), but the main twist on this call is that a train is stopped and blocking Route 19, so responders must take an alternate route.

UPDATE 5:37 p.m.: This is apparently a power-related issue. National Grid is being dispatched. Also, we learn that there was a power outage in the Village at 5 p.m. We still don't have a location for this call.

I think it was the "power station" box near the D&R Depot, the caller said smoke and flames were seen coming from the box, but fire dept. found nothing. National Grid ETA=30 minutes.

The power company is still there and it's 10:25 PM. The news said it took power out in parts of Livingston County. 5000 residences affected.
