Fire leaves Rodman family homeless

TOWN OF RODMAN, New York (WWNY) - Fire left a family of five homeless in the town of Rodman Wednesday.

Volunteers from seven departments were called to 23320 Wyman Road at 11:45 a.m.

Rodman Fire Chief Joshua Main said the blaze appears to have started in an upstairs bedroom.

He said one person who was home closed the door to the room, which helped keep the flames from spreading.

No injuries were reported.

According to Main, the upstairs room was heavily damaged, while the rest of the home sustained smoke and water damage.

The Red Cross was called in to help the two adults and three children who lived there. The children are ages 3, 4, and 6.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
