MOUNT CARMEL, Pa. — Fire damaged four rowhomes in Northumberland County Friday afternoon.
The flames started around 1 p.m. on South Poplar Street in Mount Carmel.
Heavy smoke and flames poured out of homes as firefighters tried to stop it from spreading.
These are rowhomes on this block, so the houses are very close together. At least four homes are affected.
No one was hurt thanks, in part, to neighbors like James Haynes, who had just gotten home and saw the fire.
"Me and some of the other neighbors were knocking on the other doors to make sure everyone was out. It was scary but if someone was in there, I don't know if someone needed help or what," Haynes said.
Firefighters have not said how the fire got started.
