An early morning blaze in O'Hara Township led to the hospitalization of one individual and a firefighter, as crews from several neighboring stations converged to tackle the inferno. According to WPXI, the fire was reported at 1:23 a.m. on Saturday in the 500 block of Colquitt Drive. The site cleared later, with the extent of damage and the name of the injured person not immediately released.
The emergency response was upgraded to a two-alarm fire as firefighters worked to put out the flames. One firefighter injured their leg and was taken to the hospital. Details about their condition are not yet available. The cause of the fire is still being investigated. Fire crews from several areas, including Parkview and Cherry City, worked together, and the Salvation Army helped support the affected residents, as reported by CBS Pittsburgh.
It is understood from preliminary investigations that the fire may have been initiated in a chimney before spreading, nonetheless, a comprehensive cause has yet to be determined by the authorities. Notably, the locality of the incident was near Fox Chapel Area High School.
