POTSDAM — An air conditioning unit caught fire Friday afternoon at Eben's Hearth, 115 Maple St., according to Potsdam fire.
Potsdam Fire, Potsdam Rescue, and County Car 10 were dispatched to Ebens Hearth for a report of air conditioner unit on fire, according to an online statement from the department.
Engine 49 Chauffeured by Paid Driver Jerry Robar and Engine 48 by Paid Driver Scott Grant responded, officials said. Units were on scene at 3:46 p.m. and found a rooftop air conditioner unit on fire.
Firefighters reportedly accessed the roof top by ladder and shut down power to the unit.
Officials said firefighters opened the roof top unit and used a dry chemical fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire inside. Water was used to wash down the rooftop area and a thermal imaging camera was used to ensure the fire was extinguished with no extension.
Potsdam Rescue responded for scene standby and no firefighters were reported injured. Potsdam Fire was in service at 4:42 p.m.
