Initial reports indicated smoke coming from a second floor window with one person possibly still inside of the residence.

Units from West Whiteland Fire & Police arrived on scene with smoke showing from the front door and immediately found a victim inside the residence and swiftly extricated them and brought them to an awaiting EMS crew who transported the patient.
Crews from West Whiteland stretched an 1 3/4 handline and went to the roof as well to begin opening up. Crews from Lionville and East Brandywine arrived and assisted.
