Middletown Township Fire Department Public Information Offer Dennis Fowler said in a statement that crews arrived to the Crystal Court residence around 10 am Wednesday with flames coming from the second floor and back porch.
The people inside the home had already left before firefighters got there but the fire still raged on to a point where First Assistant Chief Waltz requested additional companies be dispatched for additional firefighters and a Rapid Intervention Team to come in and protect firefighters as they fight the fire.
While they were putting out the blaze, the roof collapsed, forcing firefighters to evacuate and find a new way to fight the fire until the home was tenable.
