SOUTH CANAAN TWP. - A state police fire marshal is investigating a two-alarm fire that destroyed a Wayne County home.
The first and second floors at the rear of the two-story, single-family house at 208 Tuthill Road were already in flames when firefighters from the Waymart Volunteer Fire Company arrived Wednesday around 5:30 p.m., Deputy Chief Shawn Vinton said.
Eventually, more than 60 firefighters from companies in Wayne and Lackawanna counties helped battle the blaze, he said. The structure was a total loss.
No one was at the house when fire started, and there were no injuries, Deputy Chief Vinton said.
