EMMONS – A man was found dead when Oneonta firefighters responded to a call about a barn fire at 130 Riverstone Road, according to Sheriff Richard J. Devlin Jr.
The Oneonta Fire Department was called to the scene of a fully involved barn fire at 11:20 p.m. last night. Schenevus, Milford and Pindars Corners all provided mutual aid, and they were on the scene until 4 a.m. this morning.
Devlin declined to say where the man was found on the property. Four horses and a dog were rescued from the barn, according to Assistant Fire Chief Jim Maloney, and were transported from the scene to the Susquehanna SPCA.
