WEST PITTSTON, LUZERNE COUNTY- A 75-year-old woman had to be taken to hospital after breathing in smoke from a fire in her home.
Fire crews say Margaret Petrillo was in her West Pittston home when flames broke out around 8:00 Sunday night. Three other people were inside the home at the time. All made it out safely.
Petrillo had to be taken out in a stretcher. Firefighters say the flames started in a first floor bedroom. It was badly damaged by the fire.
There's smoke, heat and water damage to the rest of the first floor and the basement. The fire may have been caused by a cigarette, but investigators are looking for the exact cause. | |
