Families on two floors of a Fair Haven house were forced out of their homes by a fire early Friday, according to police.

Firefighters responded to a report of a residential fire at 174 Fillmore St. at 1:09 a.m. When they got there, the third floor was on fire. The second and third-floor residents were unable to return to their apartments. No injuries were reported, but a third-floor resident was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital to get checked out.

“The New Haven Fire Arson Unit responded and determined that the fire was not suspicious,” read a police report. “The families that were displaced will be seeking shelter with family members.”

And cops made a drug bust at 420 Huntington Street, 2nd Floor, on Thursday. They made one arrest for possession of marijuana.
