(KROC-AM News) - The Rochester Fire Department extinguished a fire in a downtown high-rise Wednesday evening.
A news release says firefighters responded to Broadway Plaza at 15th First Street Southeast around 5:30 PM after light smoke was detected in the lobby. After arriving at the scene, firefighters traced the smoke to an awning below a second-floor window, where a small fire was discovered in the awning at the junction with a wall between the two floors.
After extinguishing the fire, firefighters then opened up an interior wall in the lobby where some additional flames were found and extinguished. The floors above were then checked for any signs it might have spread up through the wall.
The incident did not require the evacuation of the building. The cause of the fire has not been determined.
