AMHERST, N.Y. — An investigation is underway after a fire in Getzville on Wednesday.
Officials said the homeowner of 213 Forestview Drive arrived home and opened the front door to heavy smoke and fire in the kitchen and living room area.
A second alarm was immediately requested by the Getzville fire chief upon arrival. For some time, crews had to fight the fire from outside due to its rapid spread.
Once the fire was mostly put out, crews went back inside to completely extinguish the flames.
The fire is estimated to have caused $80,000 in damage to the structure and contents.
The incident is currently being investigated by the Amherst Fire Inspectors along with the Amherst Police Department.
