Three adults and four children have been indefinitely displaced following a second alarm fire in the 900 block of Wayne Avenue in the city’s Newberry section Monday afternoon.

Dispatchers received multiple reports of the blaze just after 4:15 p.m., according to scanner reports.

All tenants of the home were able to evacuate the structure, the owner of the property told the Sun-Gazette, though at least one person was transported to UPMC Williamsport, a fire official on the scene said.

The cause of the inferno was not immediately known, but the residence is expected to be uninhabitable for the time being the owner said.

Starting at $2.99/week.
