No injuries were reported after a Christmas Eve fire at a rowhouse in Chester spread to neighboring homes, displacing five families, officials said.
Shortly before 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, firefighters responded to the 900 block of West Seventh Street and found heavy fire in a rowhouse. A second alarm was struck about seven minutes later.
Mayor Stefan Roots said three homes sustained heavy fire and water damage. He did not provide any information on what caused the fire.
The American Red Cross responded to the scene and assisted a total of 13 people from five families who were displaced, said spokesperson Alana Mauger.
