BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Buffalo firefighters responded to a two-alarm fire in the city's Black Rock neighborhood early Wednesday morning.
Officials say the fire began on the first floor of a multi-use building on Military Road and Austin Street. Upon arrival, the first floor of the building was engulfed in flames, and the fire had spread into a neighboring market.
Buffalo Division Fire Chief Daniel Bossi tells 7 News that crews have "pretty good confirmation that the fire was intentionally set."
One person living in the apartments above the market was able to evacuate safely. No injuries were reported, but the Red Cross is assisting four people at this time.
Investigators say the estimated damage to the building is $350,000, and exposure damage at the market is estimated at $130,000.
The fire remains under investigation.
