ROSS TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A family lost its Ross Township home to fire Friday morning.
The fire started at a home along Lilac Avenue at 8 a.m.
Family members said the couple and their two children celebrated Thanksgiving, went Black Friday shopping and came home around 5 a.m. A couple of hours later, a neighbor saved the family from the fire.
"I had to bang on it for a while. They eventually came out," said neighbor Paul Shields.
"They were sleeping. A guy across the street came running over, banging on the door, yelling, 'Fire,'" said Maureen Heyl, the mother of one of the victims.
Channel 11 was told by fire officials that the blaze started in the back of the house.
Two neighbors plan to start a collection for the family.
