CLEARFIELD TWP — A Sunday night fire ravaged a one-story home on Old Route 422.

Chief Kevin Hesidenz of the East Butler Volunteer Fire Department said this morning the blaze appears to have started in the basement of the addition to the home at 3014 E. Old Route 422.

A state police fire marshal is set to inspect the site Tuesday.

No one was injured. Hesidenz said the family of two adults and three children was not home when the fire ignited. The family’s name was unavailable.

Hesidenz said their pets were outside, escaping harm.

A passer-by who spotted the fire called 911 at 5:47 p.m.

Hesidenz said firefighters had no difficulties dousing the flames.

“They pretty much went through the front door,” he said.

Hesidenz, who estimated damages at $60,000 to $70,000, said the house was likely a total loss.

“They’ll probably have to rebuild it,” he said.

Hesidenz did not know if the family was insured. They are staying with relatives.

Roughly 40 firefighters responded to the call. The Herman, Lick Hill, Chicora, Oneida Valley and Worthington volunteer fire departments assisted East Butler.

Crews cleared the scene at 8:08 p.m.
