Many tenants in an apartment building in Indiana Borough were displaced as a fire destroyed the building earlier today.
Indiana Fire Association and the HAZMAT team were dispatched at 11:46 this morning to 122 North 6th Street in Indiana Borough for the fire in the three story apartment complex. They would be joined later by Homer City, Creekside, Coral-Graceton, Clymer, Cherryhill, and Black Lick fire departments.

Indiana Fire Assistant Chief Ron Moreau said they had a quick response but the fire spread quicker.
Moreau added that it did get too dangerous for fire crews to fight the fire from inside.
The building is considered a total loss due to the water and fire damage. No injuries were reported but a few pets were found dead in the building. Eleven people were left without a home due to the fire. Crews are expected to be on scene for a few more hours to fight the fire and make sure it doesn’t spread.
