The fire was reported at 9:40 p.m. in a three-unit building at 1655 York St. and controlled by 10:45 p.m., fire Lt. Mindy Talmadge said.

A civilian and a firefighter were sent to the hospital with minor injuries and another firefighter was also injured but did not go to the hospital, Talmadge said.
