Several tenants were displaced Monday evening after a two-alarm fire caused heavy damage to a multi-unit complex in Coudersport. The flames were spotted at 6 p.m. at a two story home at 391 Route 6 in the borough. The fire had spread from the first floor to the attic. All tenants were safely evacuated and no injuries reported. About 70 firefighters battled the blaze. Due to fire and water damage several tenants were displaced and are staying with friends and family and being assisted by the Red Cross. Firefighters weren’t clear from the scene until shortly before midnight. Coudersport fire crews brought in help from Roulette, Port Allegany, Galeton, Austin and Shinglehouse. The cause has not yet been identified.
