Authorities say a fast-moving fire has killed seven adults and three children in northeastern Pennsylvania.Fire tore quickly through a house in northeastern Pennsylvania early Friday, killing seven adults and three children and horrifying a volunteer firefighter who arrived to battle the blaze only to discover the victims were his own family, authorities said.
"The information I have is that the fire started and progressed very quickly, making it very difficult to get out," Sanguedolce said. Baker said that the address initially given for the call was a neighboring home, but that he realized it was his family members' residence as the fire truck approached.
Mike Swank, who lives two doors away across the street, said he happened to be awake at that hour and looked outside after hearing a sharp explosion. He saw the porch "was really going" and went outside, using another neighbor’s hose to keep the blaze from spreading to a garage. Swank said he wasn’t able to get information from them. A fence prevented him from getting to the back of the property.
