SCRANTON, Pa. — A fire broke out at a senior high rise apartment building in Scranton on Sunday night.
The flames sparked around 8:30 at United House Apartments along Pine Street.
Officials believe the fire started on the sixth floor.
Fire crews tell Newswatch 16 that multiple residents had to be rescued from the building.
"We're gathering them all at the medical college and taking into account of them, if they could reach out to them by cell phone, if they have cell phone, if they're loved ones have call phones. And they fill them in on what's going on. And then we'll have some kind of game plan once we know the extent of the damage of the building and how we're going to get people back into the building," said Chief John Judge of the Scranton Fire Department.
At least two people were taken to the hospital.
No word on what may have caused the fire in Scranton.
