Two families are homeless this morning after a fire in their multi-family home on River Road in New Windsor.

While crews were able to quickly put out the flames, they say the second-floor apartment was destroyed. The first floor suffered smoke and water damage.
Officials say the blaze appears to have been caused by an electrical problem.
