Excerpts from Democrat and Chronicle article by Nicole Lee and Gary McLendon:
An official cause has not been given, but a fire Friday afternoon that damaged three 2½-story homes on Seward Street and took more than an hour to extinguish is being considered suspicious, Rochester Fire Department officials said.
About 50 firefighters battled the three-alarm fire that destroyed two homes at 18 and 22 Seward St. and damaged a third residence at 24 Seward St. A car in a driveway between 18 and 22 Seward St. was destroyed.
No occupants were injured and 24 Seward St. appeared vacant. One firefighter who may have suffered minor injuries was sent to the hospital.
"I've got no witnesses, so that automatically makes it suspicious," Salvatore Mitrano, executive deputy fire chief, said of the fire. "Something is not normal here."

Scott Ellman alerted us to this fire and Monroe County Fire Wire's coverage. As usual, Scott has it all covered with still pictures, video and fireground audio.
