DONORA, Pa. — (WPXI) – One house is destroyed and two others are damaged after flames tore through the homes on Thompson Avenue in Donora, Wednesday. Fire crews were called to the scene just before 4 p.m. “It’s hard to wrap my head around this. I’ve never had this happen,” Edward Povrzenich said. He owns that home. He tells Channel 11 he was at work when a neighbor called him and told him his house was on fire. His sister-in-law was inside babysitting three kids at the time. The babysitter says she heard kids screaming then saw a door light up orange. He says the family has no insurance. No one was in either of the other two homes. The state police fire marshal is investigating.
