Several families are homeless this evening after a fire broke out in a multifamily apartment building at 6pm this evening at 390 Chestnut St in Meadville near the intersection of Liberty St

At least 8 Fire Departments were called to the blaze in the sub zero temperatures. All residents home at the time of the incident were successfully evacuated.

At 6:35 the command ordered the evacuation of all firemen in the structure.

Shortly after this evacuation, the flames became visible from the outside.

At this time a cause is unknown and the building appears to be a total loss.
