Pittsford home destroyed by fire

PITTSFORD, Vt. (WCAX) – A fire destroyed a historic home in Pittsford.

Crews were called to the fire at a home on the corner of Pleasant Street and Route 7 on Monday afternoon.

Pittsford’s fire chief says no one was home at the time but four dogs died in the blaze.

Officials say a double metal roof on the home caused issues battling the fire and led to multiple crews from neighboring towns being called on to help.

The home is a total loss and the investigation into the cause is ongoing.
