Oswego Fire Department Extinguishes West Side Flames
Oswego Fire Department responded after a house on 110 W. Bridge Street went up in flames.
Authorities say the fire had many layers, and because it was such a big home with several rooms, it was initially difficult for the firefighters. Despite this however, they were still able to prevent neighboring houses too much damage while ensuring the overall structure of the home stayed in tact.
Assistant Fire Chief Jon Chawgo applauded the efforts of the crew, saying “Our personnel did an excellent job knocking down the fire and protecting the neighboring structures. The house did sustain moderate damage, but is not considered a total loss and should be able to be repaired.”
The house is assumed to belong to college students, but nobody was home at the time of the incident.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

Price Chopper Closes Oswego Store’s Pharmacy
by Stefanie Sciolaro
Oswego, NY – The local Price Chopper in Oswego County has closed its in-store pharmacy for good. The pharmacy closed on Mar. 22.
The decision was made by the Golub Corporation, who owns and operates 136 Price Choppers throughout New York and its neighboring states. Golub and Price Chopper teammates have transferred all patients prescriptions to the Rite Aid in Oswego on NY-Route 104.
“We are always reluctant to close a pharmacy. But, today, pharmacies rely on economies of scale and the ability to serve a large number of patients. Within some smaller geographic regions, consolidation is the best way to provide those economies,” Price Chopper’s Vice President of Pharmacy Kathy Bryant said.
For patients looking for a new pharmacy, there is a number of options in the Oswego area including Wayne Drugs and Kinney’s on West Bridge Street and Walmart on NY-Route 104.
