(Pittsubrgh, PA) Detectives from the Fire Investigation Unit are currently holding an investigation into what caused a fire in a house in the Marshall-Shadeland neighborhood of Pittsburgh this morning which displaced ten people. The fire broke out along Woods Run Avenue around 1 a.m. and firefighters were able to get it under control around 45 minutes later. According to Pittsburgh Public Safety officials, when firefighters arrived at the home, they were able to rescue three children and a young adult from a second-floor window and a fire lieutenant was taken to the hospital to be evaluated for a shoulder injury. A 17-year-old boy with autism was initially unaccounted for, but around 3:30 a.m., police officers located the boy several blocks away along Lecky Avenue. The boy was deemed to be okay after he was evaluated by medics. Two cats were also rescued from the home, but a third cat died in the fire and a fourth cat is believed to have ran away. The American Red Cross is now working to help the people that were displaced from the home. Pittsburgh Public Safety confirms that the family were put in temporary accommodations at the hotel.
