Fire destroys Whitehall home

Fire has destroyed a home at 171 Broadway in Whitehall.

Flames were roaring when firefighters arrived just after 12:30 Wednesday afternoon.

The building – right in the middle of the village – was destroyed.

A man had been living in the building while he renovated it, a law enforcement source told NewsChannel 13. Firefighters were worried he might be inside. However, they later learned he was away at the time.

Investigators are still working on a cause.
