This Levittown house was left uninhabitable Thursday Here's what happened
Eight people were left homeless in a fire early Thursday that destroyed a Levittown home and sent one resident to the hospital.
Firefighters were dispatched to the 40 block of Favored Lane in the Farmbook section shortly after 4 a.m. and brought the fire under control in a little over an hour, Bristol Township Fire Marshal Kevin Dippolito said.
Seven adults and one child lived in the home, and one adult was transported to the hospital with unknown injuries. The house is uninhabitable and the Bucks County chapter of the American Red Cross is providing temporary housing and essentials to the residents, Dippolito said.
One resident was awake when the fire broke out and alerted others, Dippolito said. An overloaded powerstrip was determined to be the fire cause, he added.
