An accidental cooking fire is being blamed for Friday evening's four-alarm blaze that rendered a Cheltenham condominium building unlivable.
About 100 families were forced to evacuate their residences at the 1600 Church Road Condominiums, where nine third-floor units were damaged or destroyed by fire and many other units sustained smoke or water damage.
Five residents and two firefighters were taken to a hospital, with one being admitted for a medical condition.
Thirty-seven families and 47 individuals were assisted by the Red Cross' Southeastern Pennsylvania chapter - "one of the largest disaster responses" by the aid group in the area this year, spokesman Dave Schrader said.
