PYRITES -- Canton Fire and Rescue was dispatched just before noon Saturday, Jan. 12 to aid with a reported structure fire at 3098 CR 21, said a post on the department's Facebook page and witnesses nearby.

Engine 7 arrived on scene at 11:48 to find a working fire in a two stall detached garage, said the posting.

Pyrites fire crews arrived shortly thereafter and fed Engine 7 with the 5-inch hose that had been hand-stretched back down the driveway. Additional hand lines were stretched by crews from Rescue 1, Tanker 20, Rescue 36 and the fire was knocked down, the posting said.

Water was supplied via tanker shuttle from a hydrant near the Augsbury Complex on Park Street in the village.

Tankers from Canton, Pyrites, Hermon, and Russell all aided in shuttling water to the scene, the Canton FR post said.

Ambulance 132 stood by at the scene in case they were needed.

There were no injuries reported, the posting said.

Crews managed to remove a car and some equipment from the area of the building.

The resident's german shepherds were rescued at the scene, said the Facebook post, and a number of goats were also removed from an adjacent building and moved to safety.

Units were back in service at 3 p.m.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Pyrites Fire Department Fire Investigation Unit, the Facebook post said.
