Fire crews in Bucks County were operating in, what officials called, a ‘defensive mode’ on Thursday morning after they were met with “hoarding conditions” while attempting to extinguish a house fire in Penndel.
According to officials, at about 4:55 a.m. on Thursday, several Bensalem-based fire companies were working to support the Penndel Volunteer Fire Company as flames tore through a home located along the unit block of West Woodland Avenue.
As firefighters worked to enter the home, officials said, they were met with “hoarding conditions” that caused them to enter “a defensive mode.”
Also, as crews worked to extinguish the fire, Bellevue Avenue, between Hulmeville Avenue and Business Route 1, as well as Business Route 1 at Center Avenue, were closed.
Officials did not immediately say if anyone was at the home at the time the fire started, nor have they said if anyone was injured in this incident.
They also haven’t said how this fire may have started but, an investigation is ongoing.
