No one was hurt but 10 people were displaced by a fire Monday at an abandoned home near South Orange Avenue, Newark Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose said.
Fire broke out at 62 Telford Ave. around 5 p.m. and was brought under control in less than an hour. One firefighter fell through a floor while battling the blaze and continued to fight the fire after being rescued, Ambrose said.
The American Red Cross is assisting two families, with three adults and seven children between them, who lived at an adjacent home that suffered smoke and water damage.
