Two buildings along Brighton Avenue in Rochester collapsed after fire tore through them overnight, authorities said.
Beaver County dispatchers said four people were injured.
Crews responded around 2:30 a.m. to the 100 block of Brighton Avenue, where officials believe the fire started in an apartment before spreading to an antique store next door.
Three firefighters were taken to a hospital for shoulder and leg injuries. A resident of the apartment building also was transported.
Multiple fire departments responded, and tankers were brought in with river water to assist.
Portions of Brighton Avenue were closed down while firefighters continue to knock down the blaze. The Route 65 northbound ramps also were closed.
