The Oneida County Sheriff's Office is investigating a fire at Shafer and Son's on Route 233 in Westmoreland.

The fire was reported just before 2:00 Monday morning.

A Sheriff's Deputy on routine patrol was driving past the business when he noticed a glow coming from the building.

After pulling up next to the building, he saw smoke coming from the eaves of the roof and then fire inside the building.  Authorities say the center portion of the building was completely engulfed in flames within minutes.

The Westmoreland Fire Department and several other departments brought the fire under control in just over an hour.

Anyone with information on the fire is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 315-765-2237.
