Residents were forced from a Center City Philadelphia high-rise early Tuesday morning as Philadelphia firefighters put out a fire.
The fire broke out around 2 a.m. on a patio of the 2116 Chestnut building along Chestnut Street, firefighters and residents said.
The fire department warned people to avoid the area of 22nd and Chestnut streets as crews worked to extinguish the blaze.
Evacuated residents told NBC10 that no one was hurt by the fire, which began on a balcony, possibly involving gardening materials.
