At 22:05, the City ofRochester(NY) Fire Department received multiple calls for a fire in a large building at the corner of Anderson Avenue and N. Goodman St. Five minutes later, the first-arrivingfire apparatusreported smoke and flames coming from the third floor of a four story building that housed two businesses and numerous apartments.
A second alarm was called for five minutes later due to the size of the structure and the possibility that people were still inside, requiring extra manpower. The fire was put under control 38 minutes later according to Captain Joe Luna.
Gary Stern who has owned the building for 30 years said he has “never had a fire – ever in the building”. He fully plan to rebuild the damage. He is not sure when that could happen, but is confident that he will complete it.

Jamie Peca who was bartending at Salena’s said the fire alarm went off and everyone got up in a calm and orderly fashion and went outside. “We didn’t know why the alarm went off at first but could smell smoke”. She added that to watch the firefighters was “amazing to see them in action–a surreal sight”. She was not surprised that no one panicked. Kelly and Aaron Metras are great owners she said, after only working there a short time, and hopes that they rebound from this tragedy.
Sherry Callon who lives in one of the apartments and moved in last December said as soon as the fire alarm went off, she got up and left immediately. When she turned around the corner she could see thick heavy smoke and flames coming from one of the third floor window. She also commented on the firefighters “doing a great job, and getting there so quickly”. She plans on staying with her daughter for now.
It was not immediately known how many people will be displaced by the fire, although there were 15 apartments. The building sustained heavy water and some smoke damage. Stern said it will be a few days before he knows the exact amount of damage.
据卢纳上尉说，没有平民受伤。人们担心一个使用轮椅下车的人以及一对听力障碍的夫妇。卢娜还说，一名消防员受伤，尽管没有生命威胁生命，但会失业了一段时间。红十字会在现场帮助人们。
