Fire causes partial roof collapse at Pittsburgh-area home

HARRISON CITY, Pa. (KDKA) -- The roof of a Westmoreland County home partially collapsed after it caught on fire Thursday afternoon. 

The fire started around 4:40 p.m. Thursday at the home on Mount Manor Road in Harrison City. Firefighters said the hole in the roof is the result of a partial collapse. 

Those who live nearby said they could see flames shooting through the roof.   

While battling the fire, a Harrison City firefighter reportedly became disoriented while inside and had to be rescued. The firefighter is doing okay, KDKA-TV's Erika Stanish reported from the scene.  

"Once they got up into the attic area, they received heavy fire and there was a mayday called because a firefighter did become disoriented. We rapidly deployed the RIT team from Irwin Volunteer Fire Department and they were able to locate the trapped firefighter quickly and help him exit the building," said Harrison City Volunteer Fire Department Chief Gene Good. 

Once that firefighter got out, the chief called for a second alarm, and all additional firefighters were called out of the building. 

The road was shut down as crews worked.

No injuries have been reported. 

There's been no word on what caused the fire.
