A quick responding Port Chester Fire department is battling a fire at commercial building with apartments above at 304 Midland Avenue.

Firefighters from Mamaroneck have responded to help assist the Port Chester Fire Department and Midland Avenue has been closed to traffic.

Longtime Port Chester resident and business owner Daniel Radice who lives next door got out safely.

It is unclear if former Port Chester Planning Board Member Bart "My Downtown Office Had No CO" Didden, who has been cited at public hearings for having code building violations went to visit the scene.

Mayor Dennis Pilla said the four-family building had been inspected in November and the owners were informed it needed exit signs, smoke detectors and emergency lighting. It passed inspection in January after the items were corrected.
