BROCKPORT – Multiple calls to the Monroe County 911 Center this morning at 7:30 prompted an immediate response to the report of a fire in the home at 4 Roman Circle in Clarkson.

Units from Brockport, Hamlin-Morton-Walker, Hilton, Bergen, Churchville, Spencerport and the Quint from Murray were dispatched when the first arriving personnel declared a working fire due to the volume of fire evident.

Heavy smoke and flames were coming from the front of the structure and neighbors described some sort of explosion alerted them to the situation unfolding before them. Fill-in crews from Hamlin, Murray and Hilton covered our district while the rest of the crews worked the scene.

The four residents living there escaped the fire unharmed, and the American Red Cross came to assist them with immediate housing as the home is uninhabitable. One firefighter suffered minor injuries and was treated by Monroe Ambulance and transported to the hospital for observation.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office and the Brockport Fire Police provided traffic support and scene safety in the area and the fire is under investigation by the Monroe County Fire Investigation Team.
