A dumpster fire forced students at the University of Pennsylvania from their homes overnight. The fire sent smoke into the student high rise complex on the 3900 block of Walnut Street around 3:30 a.m. The fire was placed under control within a half an hour. Students have been allowed back inside their homes and no injuries were reported.

Officials say a firefighter was taken to the hospital with minor injuries after battling a fire that broke out early Friday morning at a home in the Frankford section of Philadelphia. The blaze began around 1:45 a.m. in the kitchen of the home located on the 1700 block of Bridge Street. Officials say five people were able to escape the house safely after being alerted by smoke detectors.

McFaddenâ€™s 3rd St. will reportedly be closing its doors Thursday after a 14-year run in the Northern Liberties location, according to a statement on McFaddenâ€™s 3rd St. Facebook page. The statement says the company is focusing on opening a new bar and restaurant in a different Philadelphia location. The statement reads, in part: â€œMcFaddenâ€™s wants to deeply thank their loyal patrons, friends and family for all of their support over the past 14 years. Although itâ€™s a tough day on 3rd St, hopes are high for new business ventures.â€
