Fire erupted at a Hazle Twp. home Saturday night, causing extensive damage.
Firefighters were sent to 2538 Christine Road just before 7 p.m. after flames could be found coming from the rear of the bi-level building which is between Wedgewood Road and Beech Court in the Ridgewood section of the township.
Flames were visible from a second story side rear window at 7 p.m. and a few minutes later they engulfed a rear portion of the roof sending heavy, thick smoke into the cold 20-degree night.
Volunteer firefighters from Hazle Twp. Fire and Rescue set up their equipment and went to work after finding the flames lapping at the home.
