Firefighters are still on the scene of a three-alarm, multiple building fire on North Manning Boulevard.
The blaze began at 71 N. Manning Blvd., an abandoned building, and spread to three nearby homes, according to Albany Fire Chief Warren Abriel.
No one was injured, but Abriel said 26 to 30 people have been displaced from their homes as a result of the fire. The first call came in at 6:21 a.m., according to Abriel, and when fire crews arrived on the scene three minutes later they found heavy fire across the back of three buildings. Adjacent houses at 69 and 73 N. Manning were also damaged, and while crews battled the blaze people were evacuated from seven buildings.
