American Red Cross is assisting at least three Penn Hills residents with shelter after fire destroyed their house Wednesday evening.
Penn Hills Volunteer Fire Co. No. 5 Assistant Chief Mike Stadelman said no one was injured battling the two-alarm blaze at 8910 Upland Terrace shortly before 7 p.m.
He said one of the residents told the Penn Hills fire marshal they had something cooking on a stove in the first-floor kitchen, left and came back to find their house on fire.
Stadelman said the fire spread to the second and third floors.
The home is believed to be a total loss.
Firefighters from Churchill, Verona and Oakmont also responded.
