Eight people and a dog escaped a fire that burned a townhouse on Green Meadow Lane in the Indian Valley Meadows development in Franconia Feb. 24.
Firefighters were dispatched at 3:11 p.m., Telford Volunteer Fire Company Chief Bob Wiszneski said.
"It was reported possible people inside," he said. "When I got here we had heavy fire showing from the front of the building here on the second floor." All the occupants were able to get out of the home, he said, but "the second floor is burned out."
There was also damage to the rest of the house, he said.
"The Red Cross was notified and will be making arrangements for the residents," Wiszneski said.
There was some smoke damage to the townhouses on either side, but the fire was contained to the house where it started, he said.
One of the residents was taken to a hospital with chest pain, he said.
