Vacant house catches fire on Remington Street

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Crews battled a two-alarm fire on Monday morning at a vacant house on Remington Street near Burbank Street on the city’s northeast side.

The flames took 20 minutes to control and left serious damage to both floors and the porch. News10NBC’s photojournalist saw at least a dozen firefighters at the scene.

The Rochester Fire Department says the fire broke out just before 5:30 a.m. at the boarded-up house. Crews called a second alarm because of the fire’s size and risk to nearby homes.

There were no reports of injuries and the cause is still under investigation.
