The Red Cross is helping 10 families after a fire broke out inside an apartment building in Delaware County Saturday morning, displacing 30 people.
The Yeadon Fire Company received a call at 8:33 a.m. reporting a fire at an apartment building at 300 Front Street.
Seven fire companies responded and were able to determine the fire started in a third floor apartment kitchen.
The tenant of that apartment was removed by first-responders and taken to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital. She was later transferred to burn center at Crozer-Chester Medical Center in an unknown condition.
All other tenants were able to evacuate.
Craig Jeffries, Chief of Yeadon Fire Company, says the fire was under control in 40 minutes. He says most tenants will be displaced for several days, but some were able to gather their belongings.
The Red Cross is assisting the displaced residents.
