ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Two people have minor burns after a fire broke out on Christmas morning at a home on Mason Street on the city’s northwest side.
News10NBC sees over a dozen Rochester firefighters at the home, working to pull out charred couches, chairs, and wood. The fire is now out, but the home is heavily damaged.
A Rochester Fire Department deputy chief says the fire started in the living room, then spread to the second floor and the attic. When crews arrived around 3:40 a.m., they saw the porch on fire.
“It got outside the porch to the exterior of the house, went up the side of the exterior of the house to the attic area. So it was a multi-floor operation of trying to get crews on all three floors to put the fire out inside the house as well,” the deputy chief said.
The two people inside managed to escape and were taken to the hospital for treatment. All ladders have been taken down from the house. There is no word on the cause. Check back for updates and for the latest on the condition of the two people hurt.
