UPDATE:
In Dauphin County, fire officials are investigating the cause of a massive fire that burned through a tavern and the apartments above it.
Flames broke out shortly before three Tuesday morning at the corner of East Main and Race Streets in Middletown.
Demp's Corner Pub and several apartments above the bar are badly burned.
The Fire Marshal says six people were displaced by the blaze and residents are still in shock over the loss.
“I came home and I saw the entire top engulfed in flames,” explained tenant Jeremy O’Connor. “Everything I have is now gone. This is very devastating. But everyone made it out ok so I’m happy about that.”
We're told one resident was treated on scene for minor injuries. Fire officials believe salvaging the building is unlikely.
The cause of fire is still under investigation.
The American Red Cross is assisting seven families who were displaced by the fire.
