TRENTON (MERCER)– Trenton Fire Department responded to a house fire that damaged two homes, Saturday afternoon.

It happened around 5:40 pm in the 400 block of Cuyler Ave. The caller reported fire was shooting out of the windows of the duplex. Firefighters arrived on the scene, and the “all hands” was called, sending additional manpower, resources, and apparatus to the scene.

At least three hose lines were stretched into operation to extinguish the fire. It was placed under control just before 6:30 pm.

This is Trenton’s second fire of the day. Firefighters battled a porch fire with extension into a home in the 800 block of Quinton Avenue just after 4:00 pm.

This incident remains under investigation.
