The house sustained some smoke and water damage and the house’s single occupant was able to exit the residence safely on their own, said Walters.
The home is not located in an area with fire hydrants so the Oswego Fire Protection District received assistance from the Bristol-Kendall, Montgomery, Plainfield, Lisbon-Seward and Sugar Grove fire stations.
