Due to roof damage and fire spread, PF&R said crews had to battle the fire from outside. PF&R also said the home was extremely cluttered.

Part of the roof collapsed due to the fire. No injuries were reported.

Most of the fire was extinguished. PF&R said pockets of the fire are still burning inside the home but it’s unsafe for firefighters to enter the home to put out what is left.

Crews will continue to monitor the fire throughout the morning to make sure it doesn’t spread to other homes.

Two people are being helped by the Red Cross after being displaced by the fire.

The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
