Niagara County Family Loses Home to Devastating Fire on Christmas Eve

A Christmas Eve fire left a Hartland family without a home and killed several animals, according to authorities.

The blaze broke out Tuesday night at a residence on Stone Road in Niagara County. According to the Niagara County Sheriff’s Office, the fire started in the garage shortly after 9pm and quickly spread through the rest of the house. The structure was already heavily involved by the time crews arrived.

No one was inside the home when the fire started, nor were any injuries reported. However, officials believe multiple animals died in the fire. The house is considered a total loss.

The Hartland Volunteer Fire Company shared information about the incident on social media, noting that the displaced family includes the department’s chaplain. In the aftermath of the fire, the American Red Cross has stepped in to assist the family with emergency needs.

Investigators are continuing to examine the scene to determine what caused the fire.
