Auburn firefighters made quick work of a Tuesday fire at the Cayuga County Office Building.

According to the department, an alarm was activated at 2:21p after multiple smoke detectors were activated on the fifth and sixth floors of the building.

Upon gaining entry to the roof, a small fire was found on the front facade and quickly extinguished.

The cause of the fire was determined to be accidental and related to the roof being replaced.
