The Sodus Town Barns on Rotterdam Road burned to the ground Saturday night about 7 pm, with all the highway equipment, including trucks and snowplows inside. No personnel were injured. The adjacent fuel tanks did not ignite. It appears now that four of the snowplows are lost, but three may be salvageable.
Highway Superintendents around the County immediately upon learning of the loss, vowed to help out any way they could.
Fire Departments from surrounding municipalities responded to the scene
According to Town Supervisor Steve LeRoy, the building and most of the equipment are a total loss. Firefighters did note that four of the snowplows are lost, but three may be salvageable.
