The cause of pre-dawn Tuesday fire that heavily damaged an unoccupied house in Maidencreek Township is under investigation, fire officials said.
Crews were dispatched at 4:01 a.m. to 225 E. Wesner Road, a single-story home about 400 feet north of Park Road, after a passerby saw flames coming through the roof and called 9-1-1, Chief Dan Miller of Blandon Fire Company said.
