BUFFALO, N.Y. — Niagara Falls Firefighters were called to 918 Garden Avenue early Wednesday morning for a reported house fire.
Upon arrival, the structure was completely engulfed in flames and threatening a neighboring home.
While some firefighters worked to hold back the fire, others entered the house next door to stop the potential spread of flames. Crews were on the scene battling the flames for over five hours.
While the original structure was lost, the house next door suffered only limited damage to the exterior. The house where the fire started has been vacant since 2005 according to Falls fire officials.
The Red Cross is currently assisting three occupants of the neighboring home.
No word yet on how the fire started. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
