EDGEWOOD, Pa. — Firefighters were called Monday morning to a house fire in Edgewood.
The fire was reported about 5:30 a.m. on Ivy Street.
Officials said flames and smoke were coming from the second and third floors of the home when crews arrived. A ladder truck was used to help firefighters reach and put out the fire.
Two women were inside the home at the time and made it out safely, officials said. A pet also escaped.
Edgewood Fire Chief Jared Amos said the large size of the house and its older construction posed challenges because there were pockets that could have allowed the fire to spread.
A fire marshal is investigating the cause of the fire.
