Update: Canton Fire Caused By Extension CordSt. Lawrence County fire investigators say a trailer fire Thursday morning was caused by a faulty electrical extension cord.
The trailer - at 11 Jameson Road, lot 31 in Canton - was extensively damaged as volunteer firefighters braved single-digit temperatures to extinguish the flames.
The blaze broke out around 10:30 a.m. at the home of Bud and Danette Hance on Jameson Road.
Neighbors told 7 News the couple was not at home at the time the blaze broke out and had been living elsewhere due to a malfunctioning furnace.
Firefighters from Canton and Dekalb Junction removed several oxygen tanks from the burning trailer.
Fire officials said the faulty extension cord was connected to a 'lifeline' call system.
The fire extensively damaged the kitchen and living room.
