Celoron fire crews make quick work of Friday night porch fire...
Fire damage was confined to a back-porch on a house under renovation on Fairmount Avenue in West Ellicott... near the city line. Celoron Fire Chief Jordan Bailey says crews were called to the scene at 490 Fairmount just before 9 PM Friday, and found the porch on fire. Bailey says they called in Lakewood fire crews to assist, and had the fire out quickly. He says crews were at the scene until about 11 p.m. He says the Chautauqua County Fly-Car, Lakewood-Busti and Ellicott Town Police were also called to the scene. The Chautauqua County Fire Investigation Team has determined the fire originated on a rear porch due to spontaneous combustion of chemical soaked rags in a tightly confined area.
