ROCHESTER, Pa. — At least four people, including firefighters, are hurt as crews continue to battle a massive fire in Beaver County.
Two buildings are on fire in the 100 block of Brighton Avenue in Rochester.
Three firefighters were also taken to a hospital with shoulder and leg injuries.
They’re all expected to be OK.
Rochester Assistant Fire Chief Mike Mamone said the fire started in an apartment and then spread to an antique shop and other parts of the buildings.
Mamone said crews are using a county drone so they can better see where the water is most effective.
They also have brought in tankers for extra water supply.

Officials say a man and his two dogs were in the apartment when the fire broke out. A Rochester police officer helped the man rescue his pets. They were taken to the humane society and I’m told they’re okay. The man was taken to the hospital for chest pains. @WPXI pic.twitter.com/k7VSHhTJUR
