Fire broke out at an apartment building at 17 Pike St. near the corner of Henry St. this afternoon, resulting in about a dozen people being rescued by firefighters. Several were taken away by ambulance a short time ago.
The fire is under control, but firefighters on the scene confirmed there were collapsed floors inside.
Eyewitnesses say five or six people were rescued by ladder trucks, and others were carried out the front door by rescue personnel.
Stay tuned, we are on the scene and will have more shortly.
