About 24 volunteer firefighters responded to an early morning fire on Gemstone Drive. Upon arrival, fire units found a fully involved commercial van in a back residential drive way. The van was approximately 20 feet from the residence, 15 feet from a large, filled garage and about 10 feet away from a dozen canoes on racks.

Canton volunteer firefighters Johnathan Gotaski, Stephen Goeben and Myles Angel comprised the 1st fire attack team. Matt Bilts, Juan Gonzalez & Ryan Kerr were the 2nd attack team.

Incident Commander Wayne Goeben observed, “the good news was that there is no news. It was a routine operation. Our volunteer firefighters, fire police and ambulance members did their work and everything went smoothly. In terms of resources, it was fortunate that we’re at the beginning of a holiday weekend, so many of our volunteer members are still in town.”
