Apartment fire in Cicero displaces eight, no injuries reported
Eight people lost their homes after a Cicero apartment fire destroyed a Griffin Drive building Monday evening. No injuries were reported, but smoke spread for miles.
A fast-moving apartment fire on Griffin Drive in Cicero displaced eight people Monday evening and destroyed a small building, but no injuries were reported. Smoke from the blaze was visible for miles and clouded an entire neighborhood in central Cicero.
Onondaga County 911 logged the fire around 6:40 p.m., and Onondaga County Fire said the flames moved quickly through the small apartment building. By nightfall, the structure had been destroyed, turning one of Cicero’s residential blocks into a fire scene that could be seen far beyond Griffin Drive.
The fire’s impact was felt immediately by the people living inside. CNY Central reported that eight residents were displaced by the blaze, meaning they had to leave their homes after the building was lost. The Red Cross was also flagged in coverage tied to the fire, pointing to short-term help for people forced out by the loss of the apartments.
Even with the building destroyed, the absence of injuries prevented a worse outcome. No one was physically hurt, despite the speed and intensity of the fire and the heavy smoke that spread across the area.
The cause of the fire had not been released, and the investigation remained open. For Cicero residents, the biggest immediate concern was the loss of housing on Griffin Drive and the lingering effects of a fire hot enough to send smoke across a wide stretch of Onondaga County.
