July 13th, 2023 by WCBC Radio

A city fire marshal investigation determined last week’s fire at 310 Broadway Street was “unintentional and caused by fireworks sparklers,” according to the Cumberland Fire Department.

Three firefighters were injured, including one who was taken to UPMC Western Maryland, during the fire operation that began at 7:20 p.m.

Four adults and three children were displaced from the two-story dwelling located off Maryland Avenue that CFD said was a rental property. The tenants did not have insurance to cover their property losses.
