CLAY TWP — A fire destroyed most of a home early Saturday morning, but the family that lived there escaped unharmed.

The home at 248 Claytonia Road was a total loss, according to West Sunbury Fire Chief Dan Bunyan. His department responded to the call around 1 a.m. Saturday. By the time the scene was cleared around 5 a.m., a number of other fire departments had been tapped to assist the fight.

Unionville Volunteer Fire Company, Prospect Volunteer Fire Department, Slippery Rock Volunteer Fire Company, Butler Township Volunteer Fire District, Chicora Volunteer Fire Department and North Washington Volunteer Fire Department all responded, Bunyan said.

Everyone was out of the home upon arrival, Bunyan said. The residents included a husband and wife, along with their teenage children.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. The building is a single-story ranch-style home with a basement.

The fire proved difficult to fight as some of the floor collapsed, blocking firefighters' access to parts of the blaze. Firefighters fought the fire in sections. Once it spread to the roof, crews were able to knock it down.

Bunyan did not have an immediate cost estimate of the damages.

Butler County property records list the home as belonging to Mark Baptiste and Crystal Graham-Baptiste.
