(Vernon, Conn. WTIC)-Vernon Fire Marshal Daniel Wasilewski has determined unattended candles caused the late Sunday morning fire at a three-story brick apartment building on union Street that injured seven.
Five of the tenants were treated across the street at Rockville General Hospital.
Two other tenants were transported to Bridgeport Hospital. Their conditions are unknown.
When firefighters arrived just before eleven Sunday morning, tenants were seen hanging out the window as smoke poured from the second floor. Firefighters rescued them safely.
All the tenants have been displaced as the apartment building is uninhabitable. It's unclear when they can resume living there.
