ALLENTOWN, Pa. – A fire broke out Wednesday afternoon at a home in Allentown.
The fire on North Railroad Street started around 1:00 p.m. and has damaged all three levels of the home.
Neighbors tell us three people were inside the home when the fire started and had to escape through the second and third level as smoke filled the building.
As some neighbors called 911, one man didn’t wait for help to arrive.
“We were working right here in the garage, and we heard the AC unit come out of the window,” said Manuel Pampin. “When we got here, the girl was on the ceiling. The little boy was on the second roof. And we came, we ran over, we helped the boy get down, I ran into one of the houses and we helped the girl come down as well.”
Allentown firefighters arrived a short time later and worked to bring the fire under control.
There is no word at this point on any injuries or the cause of the fire.
This is a developing story. We’ll continue to bring you the latest updates as more information becomes available.
