The Salvation Army and members of the American Red Cross Greater Buffalo Chapter are working to secure temporary housing for displaced residents.
The team provided hydration services to approximately 60 firefighters involved in fighting the fire.
Two of the three homes affected sustained damaged beyond repair and one car was severely burned. All residents escaped from their homes safely but received emergency medical treatment for smoke inhalation.
