Local firefighters from across Chautauqua County responded to a house fire in Hartfield Wednesday afternoon.

The fire, located at 6441 Hartfield-Centralia Road, caused smoke to be seen from miles away.

At the scene of the fire, firefighters were attempting to get into the second story of the home by climbing ladders and breaking through the house’s front windows.

One of the firefighters reported that everyone was able to get out safely. Ambulances were also present at the scene.

With multiple departments present, it became difficult to fit all of the fire trucks and emergency vehicles on the small stretch of street near the fire. Nevertheless, firefighters were working to contain the fire and prevent further damage to the property as well as nearby houses in the Hartfield neighborhood.

The cause of the fire was not known by press time Wednesday.
