First responders reported a structure fire on Tuesday.
The fire was reported at 11:15 am along Route 240 Highway in Green Township. Commodore, Cherry Tree and Clymer fire departments were dispatched at the time. Officials say that crews arrived to find smoke coming from a duplex and evidence of a fire in the basement garage. Crews entered the garage and extinguished the fire. The fire was contained to the garage where it started and an adjoining basement room, with some external damage to the siding. The living area above sustained moderate smoke damage and some minor heat damage. The other side of the duplex showed minor smoke damage.
Residents on both sides of the duplex were displaced, and one of them is being assisted by the American Red Cross. One person was home at the time.
