SCRANTON — Eleven people were displaced and one was treated for a minor burn Saturday afternoon when a fire damaged a South Side apartment building and commercial space.
Fire crews quickly extinguished the blaze at 505 Cedar Ave. despite what Assistant Chief Jim Floryshak said were challenging conditions in a tight block of buildings. The fire was confined to a second-floor apartment but heat and smoke damaged other parts of the building, he said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
