ITHACA, N.Y. (WHCU) — Two people are safe this morning after a late-night fire on Ithaca’s North Side. 

Crews were called to a fire at a house on East Falls Street around 11 o’clock last night. Two people inside say smoke detectors alerted them and they made it out safely. No one else was inside.

Lieutenant Jim Wheal says the house sustained fire, water, and smoke damage and will need to be repaired before the residents can return.
