CANTON — A Farmer Street home sustained extensive damage during a fire Oct. 10, according to Canton fire.

Canton Fire, Canton Rescue, and County Car 4 were dispatched at 5:49 p.m. to a reported kitchen fire at 11 Farmer Street, the department said in an online post.

Chief McGregor arrived shortly thereafter and confirmed a working fire in the 1 1/2 story wood frame residence.

Firefighters were reportedly met with a heavy volume of fire on the first floor.

The bulk of the fire was knocked down within 20 minutes, fire officials said.

Due to the age and construction of the house, there were reportedly many hidden pockets of fire which required extensive overhaul operations.

Mutual aid for interior firefighters was requested from Potsdam Fire and West Potsdam Fire.

The residents were home at the time of the fire and escaped unharmed.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by members of the St. Lawrence County Fire Investigation Team.

Twenty three members responded and all units were back in service at 11 p.m..

Mutual aid was provided by West Potsdam Fire, Potsdam Fire, SLC FIT,  SLC Car 4, SLC Car 10, Canton Rescue, Canton police, and National Grid.
