SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Two portable toilets went up in flames Friday evening at a construction site in downtown Syracuse.
Syracuse police and firefighters responded to the scene near the Pike Block, outside 322-324 S. Salina Street at about 5:47 p.m.
Firefighters quickly put the fire out, but the two portable toilets, which were side-by-side, were completely melted, Syracuse Fire Investigator Roseanne Wood-Rautenstrauch said.
No one was injured or inside the portable toilets when the fire occurred.
Syracuse Police Sgt. Gary Bulinski said officers responded to the fire, but were not needed by firefighters.
Wood-Rautenstrauch said the cause of the fire is under investigation.
