Firefighters were dispatched to the home at 12:11 a.m. and cleared the scene at approximately 1:45 a.m.

Catawissa Fire Chief Don Traugh, who directed firefighting efforts, said a cracked flue liner in a wood-burning fireplace caused the fire to spread at the home owned by the family of Betty (Greco) Wieser of Catasauqua.
