The first call came in around 12:30 a.m. for a fire in a warehouse at Atlantic Avenue and Perry Street .
Allegheny County dispatchers received the second call about seven minutes later for a fire inside a vacant house near Pacific Avenue and Perry Street .
Nearly 50 minutes later, fire crews were sent to a third building in the 300 block of Perry Street . The family living inside that home evacuated safely.
A firefighter was taken to the hospital complaining of shortness of breath. He was listed in stable condition on Monday morning.
No arrests have been made.
