Authorities say one individual sustained injuries in a house fire yesterday in Carnegie and was transported to a hospital. The blaze broke out in the 500 block of Lincoln Avenue, and emergency responders received the call at 5:18 p.m., as reported by WPXI.
The victim’s condition has not yet been disclosed, and emergency crews have not provided additional details. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by the fire marshal, waiting to be determined, WTAE reported. Meanwhile, firefighters quickly doused the flames that had taken hold of the residence.
Following the incident, some of the house's windows were observed to be shattered, indicating the fire's intensity and possible points of spread or ventilation. WTAE further mentions that despite the firefighters' swift extinguishing of the flames, the full extent of the damage to the property remains to be assessed.
Both sources indicate an active investigation, so residents of the Lincoln Avenue area are cautioned to be alert for updates that may reveal the fire's origin or contributory factors.
