Original Story
First responders tell us the call came in at 4:04 for a smoke investigation, which prompted the Seneca Falls Fire Department to be called to an address on Mynderse Street.
At 4:09 pm the call was upgraded to a structure fire.
It prompted response from the City of Geneva, Fayette, Waterloo, and Border City.
Those on-scene could not confirm if anyone was inside the structure, but an active firefight was taking place from above the structure near the chimney.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
