WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Fire forced six people out of a home Saturday morning.

Flames broke out along the 500 block of Market Street in Williamsport just before 9 a.m.

The building has a dry cleaning business on the first floor and apartments above it.

A total of five fire departments within Lycoming County responded to knock down the fire in the city.

Two adults and four children all made it out of the apartment safely.  They were taken to the hospital to get checked out.  Fire officials were not sure what the extent of their injuries were.
