DeWitt, NY -- A DeWitt home was heavily damaged by a fire Friday night.
Firefighters were called to 1055 Nottingham Road shortly before 10 p.m. They found a fire burning in the garage and spreading to the home, said DeWitt Fire Chief Jeffrey Cardinali.
Firefighters tried to fight the fire from inside the house, he said, but were forced by the intensity of flames – despite help from other fire departments and two more hose lines.
More than half an hour after the fire was called in, flames were still visible and firefighters were pouring water into the garage to douse the stubborn and smoky fire.
Cardinali said the cause of the fire was under investigation, but it appeared it had begun in the garage.
No one was injured and the Red Cross was at the scene.
Along with DeWitt, firefighters from Jamesville, Fayetteville, East Syracuse, Minoa and Manlius responded to the fire.
