From New York-Firefighters from seven area fire departments responded to a structure fire at the Grace Episcopal Church, 21 N. Washington St., where they assisted the Randolph Fire Department just after 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 20.
The fire departments responded from East Randolph, Conewango, Kennedy, Ellington, Little Valley, Coldspring and Kiantone. Chief Don McElwain said Kiantone brought their special Rehab Unit trailer in, which is used for the purpose of monitoring people’s heart rates, blood pressures and other vitals. He said it’s one of the new OSHA requirements. He added that the Cattaraugus County Sheriff ’s Investigation Team was also on the scene to help determine the cause of the fire.
According to East Randolph firefighter Norm Moon, Tim Beach and his wife, Amy, who live down the street, discovered the fire. When the Randolph Fire Department got there, smoke was belching out of the areas of the kitchen and the pastor’s office. He said activities were going on at the church until 4:30 p.m. After the Bishop’s Apostolic Visitation, which included a dinner, and the Cattaraugus-Chautauqua Deanery meeting, fire erupted in the parish hall.
