Rochester2-Alarm House Fire

Around 1700 on February 2, 2023, Rochesterfirefighters were dispatched to Verona Street fora house fire. On arrival, crews found heavy fire showing from a vacant home with exposure issues on both sides. Firefighters quickly stretched lines and made a push into the dwelling but, due to a heavy fire load and the deteriorating conditions of the structure, crews were forced to back out and go defensive. Large lines and a towerladderwere put into operation and firefighters soon had the fire knocked down and undercontrol.
