An early morning blaze on Mecklenberg Street is engulfing at least two buildings and endangering several more.
The blaze was thought to have started in an abandoned home at 72 Mecklenberg, which neighbours say they believed to be occupied by squatters. Tenants of the adjacent buildings were evacuated.
Several ladder towers, fire trucks and an ambulance remain on the scene. No word on how many people were displaced by the fire, or what (if any) injuries may have been sustained.
