Fire crews were called out early yesterday morning to a home in White Township.
Indiana County 911 reported the call went out at after midnight for a structure fire on Route 110 near Lutz School Road. Indiana, Clymer and Creekside fire departments were dispatched along with the RIT Team and Citizens Ambulance. Indiana fire officials say that the homeowner was outside when they arrived, and said an electric space heater in the basement had malfunctioned, and that caused a small smoldering fire that filled the house with heat, soot and smoke.
Volunteers remained on-scene for another 45 minutes after the fire was out to ventilate the house.
