ROCHESTER - The two-alarm February fire that destroyed a Habitat for Humanity-built duplex on Four Rod Road continues to be investigated by the state Fire Marshal's Office, according to a statement sent The Rochester Voice on Monday.
The Feb. 5 fire at 168 Four Rod Road was called in a little after 10 a.m., according to Northeast Fire Alerts, and resulted in a total loss.
Rochester Fire Chief Dennis Dube said three fire trucks and a tanker responded to find the structure fully involved.
Dube said two adults and two children were home in Unit A at the time of the fire and were able to evacuate the building safely. Another resident of unit A and all from unit B were not at home.
Rochester firefighters operated multiple hose lines onto the flames, said Dube, who added that a lack of fire hydrants led him to request additional tankers from neighboring departments.
Department of Safety spokesperson Erin Newman said it wasn't clear when the investigations would be concluded.
