Niagara Falls firefighters responded to their third structure fire in 48 hours early Sunday evening at a vacant apartment building in the 500 block of Ferry Avenue.
Fire rigs could see a large smoke cloud as they approached the scene with Engine 4 and Truck 1 arriving first at 516 Ferry. With so much smoke coming from the building and filling the street, it was initially difficult to determine where the fire was located, according to the Niagara Falls Firefighters-Local 714 Union.
Not long after forcing entry, it became known that the fire was located on the second floor. Firefighters brought hoselines up to the fire floor, put water on the fire, and had the fire brought under control fairly quickly.
No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
