Fire Chief John Janczewski said firefighters responded to 122-124 Linden St. just after 5 a.m. and found flames in the rear of the building.

Flames spread throughout the second floor and attic, Janczewski said.

Firefighters prevented the fire from spreading to a neighboring home at 120 Linden St.

Janczewski said the double block home was occupied at the time. Everyone made it outside safely, Janczewski said.

No injuries were reported.

Janczewski said a state police fire marshal will investigate the cause of the blaze.
