(New Brighton, Pa) Numerous fire departments responded to a house fire Saturday afternoon. The fire occurred at a home on 2nd Street of the Oak Hill neighborhood in New Brighton roughly around 3:30pm.

Beaver County Radio witnessed crews fighting the blaze while power lines sparked next to the structure.

The entire roof and upper half of the home appeared to be destroyed by the fire. It is currently unclear if surrounding homes also sustained damage.

According to a statement made by the City of Beaver Falls Fire Department, one of their fire fighters was “transported to the hospital with dizziness after being struck in the head with a piece of wooden siding.” The fireman has since been released.

No other injuries were reported.

We have not yet received word on the cause of the fire.

Mercer Road was temporarily closed between 4th Street and North 2nd Street.

Crews remained working at the scene as of 4:30pm Saturday.
