UPDATED 10:33 a.m. ET - The police chief in a New York State town says that four firefighters were shot while responding to a blaze in the town and that two are dead.


Chief Gerald Pickering says "one or more shooters" fired at the firefighters Monday morning. Officials say they had arrived at the scene of the blaze near the Lake Ontario shore around 6 a.m.


Officials say a fire started in one home and spread to two others and a car. Officials say there is no active shooter at the scene.


WEBSTER, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a firefighter has been shot while responding to a fire at a suburban Rochester home.


Officials in the town of Webster tell local media outlets that someone shot at firefighters around 6 a.m. Monday when they arrived at the scene of the blaze just east of Rochester.


A fire official with the West Webster Fire District tells the Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester that the firefighter is listed in satisfactory condition at Strong Memorial Hospital.


Officials say the house is still burning and the fire has spread to a second home.


A man answering the phone at the fire station says firefighters are unable to battle the blazes because the area still hasn't been secured by police. The man says no other information is being released.

One FF was a friend and former co-worker of mine at the City of Rochester / Monroe County 911 Center. The other was a LT. with the Town of Webster Police Department.


A very, very sad day in the Public Safety Community.


I want everyone to be safe out there.

In a stunning touch of karma, the local news photo of her being handcuffed after the verdict, the deputy doing the honors is a former dispatcher from the same 911 center where Tomaz worked and from which Chip was dispatched.
