BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – Three houses in Buffalo were damaged by fire early Tuesday morning.

The fire began at a home on Vermont St. before it spread to the adjacent structures.

Everyone was able to get out, but a woman in one of the adjacent homes had to be rescued. She was that home’s only occupant.

The woman’s daughter-in-law, who lives across the street, told News 4 she heard a big bang and saw a lot of light before the fire department got to the scene.

A couple of firefighters suffered minor injuries, and some Buffalo police officers may have suffered smoke inhalation.
