BUFFALO, N.Y. — Firefighters in the City of Buffalo battled a blaze early Wednesday morning in the city's Babcock neighborhood.
Three alarms were sounded for the fire that broke out around 2 a.m. on Metcalfe Street near Clinton Street.
Fire officials say the blaze started in the loading dock area of a three story vacant warehouse. Extra crews were needed due to the size of the warehouse and the amount of water needed to fight the fire, including five aerial ladders.
Damage is estimated at $500,000. A detached building on the property suffered $300,000 in exposure damage.
Fortunately, no one was hurt. The cause of the fire remains under investigation at this time.
