According to PennDOT’s website, 511, the road was closed around 11:20 a.m. Officials expressed that the road reopened just before 4 p.m. WTAE reached out to the Leetsdale Fire Department, which said that one firefighter sustained a minor injury and the fire only required one line to be taken down but it extended to the roof of the home.
