The first call went out at 1:16 PM for a structure fire at the Fancella House at 4610 Warren Road. Indiana Company Four, Aultman, Homer City and Coral-Graceton fire departments, Citizen’s Ambulance and the county’s HAZMAT team were initially called out, with Tunnelton and Coal Run fire departments called out 30 minutes later to provide assistance and Brush Valley and Iselin called in for standby detail.
Indiana Fire Assistant Chief Lee Thompson said the cause of the fire was due to a wood burner.
Officials said they had two problems at the scene. One of the problems was getting the proper water pressure to the hoses, which required additional assistance. The other was the lack of manpower due to the first day of deer season.
At least one person from the home was taken to the hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation. Thompson said that he would be notifying the Red Cross to provide assistance to the family.
