High Winds Fan Flames

Around 1300 on March 26, 2023, the Rochester911 Call Center started receiving multiple calls reporting a fire on Bloss Stre et. On arrival, crews found heavy smoke showing from a boarded up vacant building. Crews made a strong push into the home but were quickly pushed out by the heavy fire conditions on all floors. The fire was fueled by high winds sweeping the fire across the home. A second alarm was struck bringing in extra units as firefighters worked to stop the fire from spreading to the exposure home next door. Multiple large lines were used along with a masterstream to knock down and bring the fire undercontrol.
