VIDEO/PHOTOS: Rochester firefighters battled a fire at a vacant building on Forbes Street in Rochester on Sunday.
The fire started at around 10 a.m., and it took approximately two hours to bring it under control.
The building, which formerly housed the Trinity Inter-Faith Church, was unoccupied at the time of the fire, according to the Rochester Fire Department.
According to the RFD, firefighters arriving at 10:02 a.m. reported fire showing from a second-story window of the three-story brick building, and a second alarm was requested due to the buildingโs size.
Firefighters started an aggressive interior attack, but within 10 minutes conditions inside the building deteriorated and firefighters switched to defensive operations and called in a third alarm.
They used ladder pipes and master-streams to fight the fire from outside.
The church was the site of an earlier, two-alarm fire in January.
