1 person injured in house fire in South Strabane Township


Smoke and flames poured out of part of a house in Washington County early Saturday morning.

The South Strabane Fire Department said its members were called to Munce Ridge Road at around 1:30 a.m.

When they arrived they saw heavy smoke in the house and fire in the walls.

Firefighters were able to keep the fire from spreading beyond the second-story and first-floor kitchen.

During the battle with the flames, one firefighter sustained an injury and had to be taken to a hospital. Officials say the injury was minor and that the firefighter has since been released from the hospital.

Crews say a long driveway, difficulty accessing water and strong winds made the fire difficult to fight.
