Firefighters were called to battle a massive blaze at 4 Mechanic Street in Seneca Falls early Sunday morning. Crews arrived at the scene around 3 a.m. to find the residence fully engulfed in flames, with portions of the roof already collapsed.

It took firefighters approximately two and a half hours to bring the fire under control. Even after the main fire was extinguished, crews remained on-site for overhaul operations to ensure there were no flareups.
