YORK, Pa. — A 3-alarm fire burned through multiple apartments and caused thousands of dollars in damage in York City on Saturday afternoon.

Firefighters were dispatched to a semi-detached duplex on the 200 block of East Philadelphia Street on Saturday around 4:13 p.m.

Three firefighters suffered minor injures, according to officials.

The fire left five to seven apartments in the building uninhabitable and caused $300,000 in damages.

High temperatures on Saturday forced fire crews to rotate to avoid heat-related complications.

Officials said the building did have working smoke detectors.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
