A dumpster fire at the Stanton Meadows apartment complex was quickly contained Sunday night after police officers and firefighters worked together to prevent the flames from spreading.
The incident was reported around 9:16 p.m. when the Seneca County Communications Center dispatched the Seneca Falls Police Department and Seneca Falls Volunteer Fire Department to a dumpster fire near buildings 19 and 21 at Stanton Meadows.
Police officers arrived first and used two fire extinguishers to knock down much of the fire before firefighters reached the scene. Multiple fire department units responded, including Engines 1 and 3.
Upon arrival, firefighters deployed a trash line from Engine 1 and extinguished the remaining fire. The blaze was contained to the dumpster area and did not spread to nearby buildings.
All responding units cleared the scene by approximately 9:45 p.m. No injuries were reported.
