The first call came in of fire in the garage on North Street with flames
extending to the two residences.
City Fire Chief Donald Luis said everyone got out of the homes safely.
“All of the residents were out of the house; that was one of the
first I checked that all of the residents were out. I had a police officer
out of uniform from New York City who was in the area. He helped me go
through and searched. There was nothing going on; the occupants were out,”
the chief said.

injuries.
