Fire damages 2 houses in Chester

CHESTER, Pa. - August 17, 2013

Firefighters soon discovered a twin home on fire and quickly went to work battling the intense flames. However, water pressure problems caused firefighters to strike a 2nd alarm as the flames threatened neighboring homes.

Crews managed to get the fire under control. It was later learned both homes damaged by the fire were vacant.
