Binghamton Firefighters Battle Attic Fire at West Side Apartment House

No serious injuries are being reported as Binghamton firefighters responded to a report of an attic fire at a vacant two-family apartment house on the West Side of Binghamton.

Firefighters were called to 20 Clarke Street at 3:26 a.m. April 8 by neighbors who reported what "smelled like burning shingles."

Crews confirmed a working fire mainly in the attic area of the two-and-a-half story structure minutes later and confirmed no one was living in the building.

The property is situated on the south end of Clarke Street near College Street, a block east of Recreation Park.

Authorities will be investigating the cause of the fire later in the day.
