(Rochester Township, Pa) A fire broke out on East Washington Street in Rochester sometime around 5:15pm Sunday afternoon. Beaver County Radio was on scene as crews fought the blaze.

At least two homes were affected by the fire. Numerous departments responded. We currently do not have word on if there were any injuries or if anyone was inside the homes.

Witness reports indicate that a person and a dog came out of one of the homes, and possibly another dog was missing.

Large amounts of smoke filled the surrounding air, causing decreased visibilty. Power lines were also seen sparking next to the affected homes. Crews remained on scene after 6pm still working the fire.

We are currently working on gathering more details.
