Intense house fire in Donora

Around 11 p.m. Sunday, Donora and Carroll Township firefighters responded to reports of smoke coming from a residence at 25 McKean Ave. Chief Patsy Vince confirmed a working fire and requested crews from Charleroi and Bentleyville. No injuries were reported, and the scene cleared around 3:30 a.m. Vince said it happened at the location of a house fire last month and the family had not yet returned to the property, so no one was displaced. Donora Fire Company
