Two people were seriously hurt and 16 others were displaced after a swift-moving blaze tore through an Allentown home.
City Fire Department Captain of Public Affairs Jonathan Hammel said the fire started just after 10:30 a.m. Sunday in the 200 block of North 17th Street. The blaze was quickly upgraded to a two-alarm response to bring in additional firefighters, he said.
