Fire investigators in Ontario County say a juvenile intentionally started a fire which destroyed a home in the Town of Hopewell on Thursday.

Two adults and several children escaped without injury from the burning home.

Firefighters from four fire departments were called to the home just after 1:30 p.m.

When they arrived on scene, they say the house was fully engulfed. The home has been declared a total loss.

Sheriff's investigators say the child set the fire in the bathroom and the flames quickly spread to other parts of the home. 

The  investigation is ongoing.
