A man died Tuesday when a Cicero home caught on fire, police said.
A man in his 70s was inside 5898 Ladd Road when a fire started, said Sgt. James Meyers, of the Cicero Police Department.
The fire was reported at 11:31 a.m. Firefighters from multiple departments spent more than two hours working to put out the blaze.
The fire was reported to Onondaga County 911 by a passerby who saw smoke coming from the brick structure, Meyers said. When fire crews arrived, the house was fully engulfed in flames, he said.
Meyers said the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Ladd Road between Mud Mill Road and Bartell Road will remain closed for several hours as crew continue to battle the fire, Meyers said.
