​At 10:31 AM on June 5, 2020 the Town of Watertown Fire Department was dispatched to a reported structure fire on US Route 11.  46-0-1 (Chief Johnston) was first to arrive with smoke showing from the basement.  Shortly after 46-4-1 arrived and stretched a handline, quickly extinguishing the fire.  The fire was contained to the room of origin.  Thank you to all of our mutual aid companies that assisted on the scene - Adams Center, Sackets Harbor and the City of Watertown.  Also thanks to the Town of Watertown Ambulance Service, the Jefferson County Fire Coordinator’s office and the County Dispatchers who assisted.  It is all appreciated!
