Four adults and six children are displaced after a rowhome fire in Harrisburg Wednesday morning.
Firefighters were dispatched around 5:13 a.m. to a home in the 1300 block of South Cameron Street, according to emergency dispatchers. The blaze was later upgraded to a one-alarm fire.
Harrisburg Fire Chief Brian Enterline told CBS 21 that the fire began in a second-floor bedroom due to an electrical problem. The electrical fire ignited the bed, but the person who normally stays in that room was not home, Enterline said.
Because the bedroom door had been closed, the fire was mostly contained to that room.
Had the door been open, Enterline said, it would have been a different story. Firefighters would have been on scene for much longer, and more people would've been out of their homes.
