A House Fire occurred at 44 North Second Street in Allegany on Friday.
According to the Allegany Fire Department, Due to the age of the house, the balloon frame build, and plaster and lath building materials, it was a very manpower intensive fire.
Responding to the scene included firefighters from the City and Town of Olean, Limestone, Portville, Hinsdale, and Cuba. Also assisting on scene were Catt Co Emergency Services, Allegany PD, NYS Police, and Allegany Fire Ladies Auxiliary. Bolivar and Salamanca provided standby services for various departments.
