SYRACUSE, N.Y. –  On April 27, 2023, at 2:34 p.m., the Syracuse Fire Department was alerted by the Onondaga County 911 Center to a possible fire at 110 Palmer Ave, on the City’s Southwest Side. Firefighters from Station 3 on Bellevue Avenue arrived on the scene two minutes later and reported a wood-framed structure with smoke coming from the eaves. Further investigation revealed a fire on the first floor of the building, and a signal ‘99’ was transmitted.
