A massive 2-alarm fire has destroyed a home in North Philadelphia.
Officials with the Philadelphia Fire Department told CBS News Philadelphia crews were called out to West Albanus Street and North Front Street around 11:30 p.m Sunday night. When they arrived, they found heavy fire and smoke conditions on the second and third floors of the structure.
The fire is adjacent to Roosevelt Boulevard, causing emergency officials to close Northbound and Southbound Lanes between North Front Street and Mascher Street. Delays are expected in the area.
Four people were taken to the hospital with smoke inhalation. The blaze was placed under control a little before 2:30 a.m. Monday, but crews are expected to remain on scene putting out hot spots into the morning.
