Firefighters responded to a house fire at 4 Roman Circle in Clarkson the morning of May 4. Heavy smoke and flames were coming from the front of the structure and neighbors described hearing some sort of explosion. Units from Brockport, Hamlin-Morton-Walker, Hilton, Bergen, Churchville, Spencerport and the Quint from Murray were dispatched to fight the blaze. Crews from Hamlin, Murray, and Hilton covered the district while the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office and Brockport Fire Police provided traffic support and scene safety.
All four of the home’s residents 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 fire is under investigation by the Monroe County Fire Investigation Team.
