A Lancaster Township resident is in critical condition after a fire on Friday night, according to the Lancaster Township Fire Department
Firefighters were dispatched at 10:29 p.m. for a dwelling that was on fire in the first block of Pickford Drive in Wedgewood Estates, off of New Danville Pike between Second Lock Road and Hoover Road, according to Capt. Greg Leaman.
The resident of the home was taken to Lancaster General Hospital in critical condition and was then flown to a burn center for treatment.
A neighbor returned home at around 10 p.m. and noticed the smell of smoke in the area. They first thought the smell was from a fire pit from a neighboring home, Leaman said.Â
