Vestal Home Damaged by Two-Alarm Fire

Firefighters from three departments battled a two-alarm blaze that broke out in a single-family house in Vestal.

Authorities said the fire at 912 Murray Hill Road was reported shortly after 1 p.m. Tuesday.

Police and firefighters were sent to the house to investigate a dryer fire. Smoke and flames from the lower front portion of the split-level house were visible when the first emergency units arrived at the scene.

It appeared the body of the fire was confined to a basement area in the front of the house. Portions of the home's brick exterior were darkened.

Smoke was seen pouring from windows in the upper section of the building.

No serious injuries were reported but medics evaluated one person at the scene for possible smoke inhalation.

Vestal firefighters were assisted by units from Endicott and West Corners.

Murray Hill Road was closed between Radcliffe Boulevard and Salem Drive for fire operations.
