Approximately 20 people are homeless but safe after a fire broke out Saturday morning in an apartment building in downtown DuBois. At least six had to be rescued from the burning structure, according to DuBois Volunteer Fire Chief Ben Blakley.
Multiple fire departments from Clearfield and Jefferson counties responded to the call at 9:53 a.m. at 322 W. Long Ave., which also houses Mike’s Lock and Hardware store on the first floor, where the fire started, according to DuBois Volunteer Fire Chief Ben Blakley.
“Everybody who lived in the apartment building has been accounted for,” Blakley said Saturday evening while still at the scene cleaning up.
