No One Hurt in Chautauqua Place Fire
City firefighters battled a blaze this morning at 19 Chautauqua Place.
They were called at 7:22, and Lt. Mike Cleveland tells WESB and The HERO that smoke was coming from the eaves and attic when they arrived. Heavy smoke was also pouring from the front of the house out of the attic vent.
Cleveland says they were able to contain the fire to the attic, although there was a little bit of damage on the second floor. There was smoke and water damage throughout the building, he added.
No one was hurt.
Bruce Haight owns the building. Roger McCracken and Amy Sellers are renting the upstairs. Linda Bell, her boyfriend and two children live in the downstairs apartment.
Firefighters were on the scene for about 2 ½ hours. Bradford Township was on standby at the city station. Special police directed traffic while Chautauqua Place was closed.
As of 12:15 p.m., a state police fire marshal was on the scene trying to determine the cause of the blaze.
