For the second time in six months, fire swept through an iconic bar in Buffalo’s Allentown neighborhood. Firefighters were called to Mulligan’s Brick Bar at 229 Allen around 4 a.m. on Sunday and smoke and flames could be seen engulfing the structure. City of Buffalo officials provided an update on Sunday morning and said the cause of the fire is under investigation but at this time it does not appear it was arson. Officials said the fire originated on the first floor and rapidly spread throughout the entire building. No one was inside at the time of the fire. Buffalo Fire Commissioner William Renaldo said it was a two-alarm fire. The first emergency crew entered the building, but was only in there for a short period due to poor visibility and high heat.
