SYRACUSE, NY—Firefighters are working to determine what started a fire that severely damaged on home on Syracuse’s South Side.
A caller reported the fire at a Wood Avenue home at 11:06 a.m Wednesday. When the Syracuse Fire Department arrived, the front of the home was engulfed in flames.
Firefighters doused the two-story home with water and cut holes in the roof. National Grid workers picked up wires that fell onto the street. Masked bystanders stood on the sidewalk across from the Wood Avenue home, watching as firefighters put out the fire burning their neighbors’ home.
The fire left the front of the home completely charred. Even after the fire was out, the smell of burning wood and plastic hung in the air.
Along with firefighters and National Grid, American Medical Response and the Syracuse Police Department responded to the scene.
It’s not clear if anyone was injured in the fire or what caused the blaze. A fire department spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.
