Manlius, NY -- The M&T Bank in the Village of Manlius will likely be closed for a week for repairs after a fire in an employee bathroom early this morning, said Fire Chief Paul Whorrall.

There was heavy smoke coming out through the roof when firefighters were called to the bank on Fayette Street at 1:21 a.m., the chief said.

At first firefighters believed the fire was in a water heater that is on the bank’s roof, the chief said. However, after they went inside the building they found that the fire had actually begun in a light fixture in the employee bathroom, Whorrall said.

“It burned for quite a while and had charred the beams,” he said.

The fire also burned plastic pipes leading to the water heater, which shot water over the area, slowing the fire and containing it, Whorrall said.

The building had smoke and water damage. Firefighters smashed a window to get into the building and needed to cut a hole in the roof to vent the smoke.

The branch manager on scene told him that the bank would likely be closed for a week for repairs, Whorrall said.
