Fire crews are battling a massive fire in downtown Erie. The fire was called in around 3 p.m. this afternoon at 412 East 23rd Street. This is video taken from our SkyView camera not too long ago. You can see here, smoke is billowing over the city. According to our crew at the scene the fire did spread to a second home, and multiple people are now displaced. Tragically, a dog did pass away. This is still an active scene—no word on a cause at this time. | Erie News Now
