One person is in critical condition following a house fire in Edinboro Thursday morning.
The Edinboro Fire Department was dispatched around 9:32 a.m. to a two-and-a-half-story home at 113 Water Street. Assistant Chief 390 arrived within minutes and observed smoke coming from the rear of the second floor.
Firefighters forced entry into the residence and began searching for occupants and fighting the fire. One male victim was found on the first floor and removed from the home for emergency medical treatment.
The man was flown to the Mercy Burn Center in critical condition. His identity has not been released.
Crews spent approximately 30 minutes suppressing the fire, ventilating the home, and completing overhaul operations.
The Pennsylvania State Police Fire Marshal is investigating the cause of the fire in coordination with the Edinboro Police Department.
