A Fourth of July Fire in Hazleton is still under investigation.
The blaze on Carlton Avenue displaced at least 25 people at two apartment homes on the street.
Firefighters said the flames started around 11:30 p.m. Hazleton's Fire Chief Donald Leshko said the cause of the fire is still under investigation, but couldn't say whether or not fireworks were to blame.
The chief is looking for anyone in the area that may have video from before the fire started to help determine the cause.
While the state fireworks law changed this year, Hazleton requires a permit to set off fireworks in the city.
