STROUDSBURG -- Crews battled flames in downtown Stroudsburg Sunday night.

Firefighters were called around 8 p.m. to the 700 block of Main Street.

There were two businesses and several apartments involved, according to the fire chief. One of the businesses is Panda Kitchen, a Chinese restaurant. The other business is currently vacant.

The fire chief said the majority of the damage was to an apartment over the vacant business. There were four people living in the three apartments above the vacant business. We're told they were all forced out but have other places to stay.

The adjacent building with the Chinese restaurant and several apartments upstairs suffered minor smoke damage, the chief said.

Firefighters said some pets died in the fire. No one else was hurt.

The Red Cross is helping the people who were displaced.

Main Street was shut down between 7th and 8th Streets while crews worked. It reopened around 10:30 p.m.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

The Chinese restaurant was open again on Monday.
