BINGHAMTON (WBNG) -- After Sunday's early morning fire on Liberty Street in Binghamton, neighbors who lived inside the burned building are dealing with the difficult aftermath.
Early Sunday, Brenda Cherry got out of bed on Liberty Street to use the bathroom when she saw smoke in her apartment.
Jumping into action, her family started waking up other tenants in the building.
Describing the scene, fellow neighbor Keith Stevens said, "And it just got to be so bad, by the time I got out here and moved my car, I looked on the other side and you can actually see the flames coming out of the other side of the building."
While authorities say everyone got out safely, one day later brings its own trauma.
"Because if I didn't get up, what would have happened? There were babies in that apartment, right there where the flames were, it's hard," sobbed Cherry.
Neighbors are now wondering what, if anything, is left.
"You still see the picture frames on the wall, but the pictures actually look like they're crumbled from the heat," explained Stevens.
However, highlighting how close his neighborhood is, he says he's pushing forward.
"You have to always look to the positive no matter what it is because if you let the negative get you down, you just stay there."
At last check, authorities say the cause of the fire is currently unknown, and the investigation is ongoing.
