Fire Forces Evacuations At Elderly High Rise

Residents were forced from an elderly high rise Sunday night in Pittsburgh's Allentown neighborhood.

The fire started on the 10th floor, with smoke spreading to the 11th floor, firefighters said.

The people in the apartment were able to get out unharmed, and firefighters were able to put the fire out quickly. One person was treated for smoke inhalation. The victim's name and condition has not been released.

Tenant Stacy Griffin talked about what she saw.

"It was in the walk-in closet. My mom noticed it and said, 'The closet's on fire,' and we were trying to get buckets of water and that wasn't doing nothing," said Griffin.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
