4/25/14 - A barn fire in Putnam Township resulted in a minor injury to a firefighter Wednesday. Putnam firefighters were joined by the Unadilla Fire Department on the 3200 block of Patterson Lake Road at 1:39pm. The owner of the home had been burning cardboard boxes in an approved burn container when a spark got out and caught a pole barn on fire. There was some damage to the building, as well as the two cars inside and one parked nearby. Putnam Fire Chief Greg Amburgey says the damage was not too extensive and crews quickly knocked down the fire. One firefighter from Unadilla was injured by broken glass, receiving a cut on his hand. He declined to be transported to a hospital and was treated at the scene. The Hamburg Township Fire Department provided water for the crews to use as they fought the blaze. (TD)
