VIDEO: A fire on Wednesday night caused serious damage to parts of a multi-family home in Hamlin with an attached auto repair shop. The Hamlin Fire Department says the flames broke out just before 7:20 p.m. at the corner of Walker Lake Ontario Road and Walker Road.
The fire seriously damaged the building’s second floor, and the first floor has water damage. Fire officials say no one was hurt and are still working to learn how the fire started. They say it’s unknown if anyone was home when the fire started.
Firefighters from Hilton, Brockport, and North Greece also responded. In a Facebook post, the Brockport Fire Department said its crew helped with cutting ventilation openings in the main roof, allowing another crew to access a lower secondary roof.
During those ventilation efforts, crews discovered that fire had extended to the back of the building Brockport FD said battling the fire was a challenge because of the building’s construction, including tongue-and-groove ceilings covered with plywood and walls made of multiple layers of paneling.
