PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Two people died after a fire broke out at a house in Pittsford on Sunday night.

The two-alarm fire broke out around 8:30 p.m. on Callingham Road, a neighborhood off Fairport Road. Five fire departments and more than 70 firefighters were called to help after getting reports of people trapped.

The Monroe County Fire Bureau is investigating the cause of the fire, which is not considered suspicious. The Pittsford Fire Department chief said crews arrived to hydrants covered in snow but it didn’t delay them in getting water on the fire.

“The weather being cold, we did have snow cover hydrants that we’ve been dealing with. A lot of factors have affected it,” Chief Steve Cline said.

The two people who died were the only ones inside the home. The Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office is working to identify the victims and to determine their exact cause of death.
