CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Two people were taken to the hospital after a fire ripped through a mobile home on York Drive in Cranberry Township early Wednesday morning.
The flames killed two dogs and left behind significant damage.
The Cranberry Township fire chief says the State Police Fire Marshal has been contacted, though early indications found the fire was accidental and started on a couch.
Neighbors said flames tore through the front and back of the home, charring it and melting siding on a nearby house.
The next-door neighbor describes the early morning hours as a nightmare.
“We heard our neighbor banging on our door, glass door in the back, and we finally woke up and went to the door and she said, ‘My house is on fire, call 911!’,” Barbara Bindewald said.
The fire chief said a woman and her adult daughter lived in the home. Both were hospitalized but have since been discharged.
Neighbor James Williams Shipley said the destruction was hard to believe.
“You never know,” he said. “It could have been here.”
