At 0940 Smethport Fire Department Inc. was dispatched for mutual aid with Port Allegany for a fully involved structure fire at 1800 Rock Run Road. It was quickly upgraded to a second alarm bringing in Eldred Borough VFD, Eldred Township Fire Department, Roulette Chemical Engine #1, Coudersport Vol FireDept, Hamlin Township Vfd, and Portville (NY).

Crews were still on the scene at the time of this post and the cause of the fire is under investigation. Details will be released later, however, a photo was captured of a cat that was rescued from the structure. The home was a total loss.
