The call was upgraded to a second alarm out of an abundance of caution because the building is a duplex.<\/p>\n<p>Crews quickly extinguished the fire, with the flames gone in 35 minutes, he said. It was limited to the attic.<\/p>\n<p>Eight people and two dogs were displaced as a result of the fire, Judge said. However, only one man was home at the time of the blaze, he added. The building had no smoke detectors. There were no injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The city\u2019s code enforcement office and fire inspectors condemned the building due to the smoke and water damage it sustained.<\/p>\n<p>The fire inspector ruled the fire to be accidental and electrical in nature, Judge said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A fire on Thanksgiving forced multiple people from a duplex home in Scranton.
