Rochester, N.Y. – Three people are homeless after a two-alarm fire broke out Saturday morning at an apartment on Sherwood Avenue.
Rochester firefighters responded just after 5:30 a.m. for the report of something burning. When crews arrived they found a garage on fire that had spread to a nearby house.
A second alarm was called when firefighters received a report of people trapped inside the apartment. All three residents of the apartment were able to get out of the building without injury.
The building is a four family home, but only the one apartment was occupied at the time. The apartment sustained significant damage and is not livable at the time. Crews are unsure if the building will be ruled a total loss.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
