MANLIUS, N.Y. -- Manlius Fire Chief Brad Pinsky said he could see the smoke from DeWitt as he was headed to the house fire on Strawberry Lane east of Fayetteville in the town of Manlius.

"The house was fully engulfed in flames when we arrived," Pinsky said.

A caller reported the fire to Onondaga County 911 at 1:15 p.m. Tuesday at 7498 Strawberry Lane off of Salt Springs Road.

Heavy smoke was billowing from the home and flames were shooting through the roof when fire crews arrived, Pinsky said.

No one was home at the time of the fire and no people were injured, he said. Pinsky said it's unknown if the owner's dog survived.

The fire destroyed the house, which is likely a total loss, Pinsky said.

"The fire was ahead of us," he said.

The ranch-style home built in 1976 was valued at more than $220,000, according to Onondaga County real estate records.

Multiple crews assisted the Manlius Fire Department, including crews from Fayetteville, South Onondaga, Pompey Hill, Fabius, Chittenango, LaFayette, Cazenovia and Minoa.

Most of the departments assisted in bringing water to the fire, Pinksy said. He said he was grateful for the turnout.

The fire was knocked down shortly after 2 p.m. Fire crews remain on the scene after 3 p.m. to put out hot spots and investigate.

The Red Cross of Western and Central New York is assisting the family.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
