Fire breaks out in Cobblestone neighborhood

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A fire broke out Tuesday evening at 110-118 South Park Avenue in the Cobblestone neighborhood of downtown Buffalo.

The fire was first reported around 7:50 p.m. Authorities said the fire started on the first floor of the building and spread everywhere.

The fire is currently not under control, Buffalo Fire Commissioner William Renaldo said around 9:30 p.m.

“We have to maintain our safe distance because a few walls are compromised,” Renaldo said. “Bricks are falling, things of that nature. »

Tuesday night's firefighters were the same crew that battled The Old Pink fire early Monday morning.

“As you know, it's a really sad day again in the Fillmore district because The Old Pink was in my district as well,” said Buffalo City Council Member Mitch Nowakowski. “These are two catastrophic fires, which could potentially lead to their demolition.”

News 4 is working to learn more about the fire.

This is a developing story, check back for updates.
