HORNELL, New York – Firefighters from several fire departments battled a large fire on Preston Avenue in Hornell on Sunday.
The Evening Tribune reported that the fire spread to several homes on the avenue. Hornell Fire Chief Frank Brzozowski said that six homes caught fire; four on Preston and two on Washington Street.
“We had two structures involved. They were fully involved when we pulled up. It spread to two adjacent structures on either side of it, and two houses. With the wind currents and the embers, it caught the backs of the houses on fire on Washington Street.” Brzozowski said.
Mutual aid was called from neighboring departments as firefighters worked to get the fire under control.
