Several people are displaced Thursday morning after a fire damaged multiple row homes in Northumberland County. A devastating morning on East Seventh Street after three homes took most of the damage from an early morning fire. The call came in just before 7:00 am. “I was getting ready to leave and when I walked out of the house, I saw the neighbors screaming to the other neighbors to get out,” said neighbor Jose Leon. Leon has lived in his home on East Seventh Street for seven years never thinking there would be a fire on his block. “I noticed the fire, ran out to make sure he [the neighbor] was fine and tried to contact 911 but they were already on the way,” said Leon. Firefighters were able to make it to the scene quickly because they had just left another fire.
