Fire was mostly contained to one room with smoke damage throughout the house. Mutual aid included Pembroke, East Pembroke, Darien, Chritteden, Akron, City of Batavia

I didn't realize the city of Batavia fire department responded to mutual aid.
Thank goodness it was only one room. What a terrible way to start Christmas.

City of Batavia often responds with its "Fast Team." This is a team of firefighters that, as I understand it, don't participate in fighting the fire, but are there to provide safety back up to the firefighters who are fighting the fire.
