Investigation Underway for Fire at Vacant Niagara Falls Home

Niagara Falls police and fire officials are currently investigating the cause of a fire that broke out early Wednesday morning at a vacant home located at the intersection of 22nd and Walnut Street.

Firefighters were dispatched to the scene around 12:30am after receiving reports of a possible structure fire. Upon arrival, they discovered flames engulfing the rear of the property at 559 22nd Street. The fire had already consumed the back half of both the first and second floors.

Fire crews quickly deployed a hoseline to the rear of the building and initiated an exterior attack. As more firefighters arrived, they extended multiple water lines into the front of the structure to launch an interior assault on the flames.

The fire was successfully extinguished after approximately two hours. Investigators are now working to determine the cause of the blaze. No injuries were reported.
