"When I heard one of my roommates actually yelling there was a fire, I had to go upstairs and tell her to come towards my voice because there was so much smoke inside that house," said Warren Namingha.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Some North Buffalo residents received a scary wake-up call Wednesday morning.
 
Just after 4 a.m. a fire started in the driveway between two homes on Wellington Road in the city.

"When I heard one of my roommates actually yelling there was a fire, I had to go upstairs and tell her to come towards my voice because there was so much smoke inside that house. She came down. We both exited from the back patio, and that's when firefighters came, and they got us down safely," said  Warren Namingha.

One woman saved by firefighters is due to have a child in a week. We're told a total of 10 residents made it out of their homes safely.

Investigators said the fire appears accidental, however, a cause is still unknown.
