According to the Syracuse Fire Department, at around 11:30 a.m., Syracuse Firefighters were alerted at 127 Harding Place. Firefighters from Station 18 on Midland Ave. arrived in three minutes and found a two-story wood-frame single-family residence with smoke from multiple windows on the second floor and attic.
According to officials as teams of firefighters moved hoses into the smoke-filled structure to search for the fire, other teams of firefighters started searching for residents. Three hoses were stretched to extinguish the fire on the first and second floors and attic. The searches for any trapped residents were completed; no one was inside. The main body of the fire was extinguished after approximately 20 minutes.

According to officials the single-family home was vacant at the time of the fire. The fire started on the first floor and traveled to the second floor and attic. Syracuse Fire Investigators have determined that the fire started in the first-floor dining room. The cause remains under investigation. There were no injuries to residents or anyone in Fire Department.
