Earl Township Volunteer Fire Company Chief Michael Marburger said fire had already engulfed the right side of a house and roof by the time firefighters arrived at structure early Thursday morning. Two occupants escaped the fire before crews arrived on scene; a woman was transported to a local hospital. A firefighter was also transported, but details on both cases were not available.
