A woman was killed Monday evening after a three-alarm fire tore through a row of attached homes in Bristol, Pennsylvania.
Emergency crews were dispatched around 6:10 p.m. to the 300 block of Dorrance Street for reports of a working structure fire. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered heavy fire conditions rapidly spreading through multiple attached dwellings.
Due to the volume of fire and extension between homes, the incident was upgraded to a third alarm, bringing a large mutual aid response. Nearly 100 firefighters from surrounding departments assisted at the scene.
Officials confirmed one woman died as a result of the fire. Her identity has not yet been released pending notification of next of kin.
In addition to the fatality, one other person was reported injured. Approximately six homes were impacted, with several sustaining significant structural damage. Power lines were also reported down during the height of the incident, complicating firefighting operations.
Fire crews worked for an extended period to bring the blaze under control and prevent further spread.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
This remains a developing story. Updates will be provided as more confirmed details become available.
