Police investigate Eldred Township fire

State police are investigating a dwelling fire which appears to have been started by the homeowner. Shortly after 7 p.m. Friday, neighbors reported spotting smoke pouring from a ranch-style home at 271 Chestnut Drive N. in Eldred Township, just a short distance from Weir Lake Road. Neighbors also reported finding the female occupant of the home to the rear acting in a very inappropriate manner. Firecompanies from several Monroe County communities raced to the scene, quickly extinguishing the flames. They then searched for the occupant and found her a short time later. She was evaluated at the scene before being transported to Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg.
