Allegheny Co. Police and Fire Marshal investigating suspicious house fire in McKees Rocks

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- An intense investigation is underway after a home in McKees Rocks went up in flames overnight.

Allegheny County 911 dispatchers received a call about a domestic disturbance between a man and woman at a home along Singer Avenue, which caught fire just an hour later.

Police say when officers responded to that call, first responders attempted to help a woman get a protection from abuse order against a man. 

Then, an hour later, around 11:30 p.m., another 911 call was reported regarding a fire at the same address.

Police say they detained a man who was seen running away from the home after the fire started.
