Crews worked to extinguish a large fire at a home in Northeast Philadelphia on Friday.
Firefighters were called to a home on the 9400 block of Kirkwood Road just after 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 10 where they found heavy fire coming from a two-story twin home, according to a spokesperson with the Philadelphia Fire Department.
A part of the house ultimately collapsed because of the fire, officials said.
“I was laying on the bed and I heard a very loud noise,” resident Nana Boadu told NBC10. “I ran down. When I came out the back, I saw somebody come out from the other building and I saw a fire coming from there.”
SkyForce10 was over the scene just after 2 p.m. where smoke could be seen coming from a building that appears to be a twin home.

According to the fire department, one person was treated by medics at the scene before being taken to a nearby hospital where they were placed in stable condition.
