A fire destroyed a home in Sewickley Township, Westmoreland County, late Wednesday night.

Calls about the fire, located in a rural area on Orchard Drive near Herminie, came in at 11:08 p.m., according to Westmoreland County Public Safety. The house was fully engulfed shortly after 11 p.m., Tribune-Review news partner WPXI reported.

Video captured by a WPXI photographer showed part of the structure collapsing. No injuries were reported, the public safety official said.

The Red Cross was called to help the residents of that home, WPXI reported.

No other information was immediately available.

Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to correct that Orchard Drive is in Herminie.
