Plumsteadville Fire Chief Brian Dubree said firefighters arrived to find a blaze in the basement of the home. They began to fight the flames, but as they worked their way into the basement they discovered a propane gas line had failed and the leaking gas was creating a torch-like fire. They backed out and fought the flames until the propane was turned off.

Dubree said the fire extended up into the first floor through the hollow wall construction of the older model home.
