Northumberland, Northumberland County-

A Northumberland family’s home went up in flames Thursday morning.

Neighbors say Robert and Carol Beaver lived in the home at 710 Strawbridge Road in Northumberland, along with their son Brad.

All three were taken to Geisinger Medical Center for treatment of injuries from the fire, which officials say started in the living room.

Fire investigators have not officially determined the cause of the blaze, but a candle may have been to blame.

Northumberland Fire Chief Jim Troup said, “Just try to stay safe with your heating units and everything else. If you’re burning candles or whatever else for the holidays, keep them out of the reach of children.”

More than half a dozen departments responded to the blaze, which caused about $40,000 in damages.

So far, there’s been no further word on the victims’ condition.
