Around 1:30 am Sunday, the Homer Fire Department was dispatched to the area of Route 13 and Forbes road for a potential structure fire that was called into 9-1-1 dispatch.
While units were responding to the scene, another call came in reporting a structure fire in the same area. Homer Fire immediately called for a 2nd Alarm all hands fire that brought in fire departments from around the area.

The cause of the fire is believed to be electrical. Assisting the Homer Fire Department was Cortlandville, Truxton, Cuyler, McGraw, Preble, Virgil, and Tully Fire Departments.
