A family was forced out of their home after a fire broke out on Tuesday afternoon, according to the Allentown Fire Department. <\/p>\n
Firefighters and other first responders were called to a home on the 1900 block of Livingston Street in Allentown around 2:13 p.m. on Aug. 25, officials said. <\/p>\n
When the firefighters got to the scene, they said they found the fire burning at the back of the house and it was spreading quickly. <\/p>\n
Crews with PPL had to be called because of arcing wires, officials explained. <\/p>\n
The fire was brought under control after 2:20 p.m.<\/p>\n
Three adults, four children and their pets have been displaced because of the fire, officials said. They are being helped by the Pennsylvania Rivers Chapter of the American Red Cross. <\/p>\n
