Two people were displaced Wednesday after flames damaged their North Yarmouth home. The fire at 870 Sligo Rd. was under control by about 10:30 a.m. Crews worked to put out hot spots in the late morning and turned the property back over to its owners shortly before 2:30 p.m. An official said firefighters arrived on scene at about 9 a.m. and observed flames shooting out of the house's second-story windows. Additionally, fire was coming from the area of the kitchen on the first floor. The fire was quickly put out despite a lack of water. They said an all-hands was struck because there were no hydrants and water had to be shuttled. Crews trucked an estimated 30,000 gallons from a hydrant 1.5 miles away.
