Fire breaks out at Mahoning residence

Fire tore through a home located on the property of the Mahoning Valley Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Mahoning Township early Thursday evening.

Fire companies were called to the scene of a fully involved working fire at the home known as the villa residence just before 5 p.m.

The villa is not linked to the nursing home. It is a separate residence, located on the property.

Mahoning Valley Fire Chief Mark Ebbert said there were no injuries.

The couple who live in the villa made it out safely with their dog, according to Ebbert.

Assisting Mahoning Township at the scene were firefighters from Lehighton, Franklin Township, Jim Thorpe and other departments.

A fill site for tankers was set up at Fredericks Grove Road and Route 443.

The fire was under control as of 10:14 p.m.
