McKees Rocks, PA – On July 8th at 5:42 A.M., fire units were dispatched to a reported house on fire in the 400 block of Woodward Avenue in McKees Rocks Borough. Units were advised that they were receiving multiple calls and that there was possible entrapment.
McKees Rocks' Fire Chief arrived on scene and reported that he had three wood-frame structures fully involved with fire and extending on both sides. A second-alarm was then immediately requested.
Crews were able to quickly verify that all occupants of the homes were accounted for and a defensive attack was set up in both the front and rear of the structure. About 20 minutes into the incident, the home on the 'Bravo' side had collapsed. A third-alarm was requested as crews continued to attack the fire before finally bringing it under control several hours later.
Two occupied homes were completely destroyed and a third unoccupied home sustained heavy fire damage. Two families, including five adults and seven children, were displaced and are being assisted by the American Red Cross. No injuries were reported and the fire is now under investigation.
