Residents of a condominium complex in Squirrel Hill were forced out of their homes after a fire broke out early Friday morning, according to authorities.

Firefighters were dispatched to the 5100 block of 5th Avenue at around 1:40 a.m., according to emergency dispatchers. The fire was raised to two alarms to summon more personnel to the scene, officials said.

All the occupants were able to get out of the building with no injuries reported.

The flames were extinguished in about 30 minutes, according to a spokesman for Pittsburgh Public Safety.

An arson investigator was called to the scene to help investigate the cause of the fire, according to authorities.
