A Cranberry Township home was ruled a “total loss” after an early Monday, April 21, fire that spread from a charcoal grill on the back porch, according to the Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company chief.

Nine fire companies responded at about 1 a.m. to find a two-story residential fire in the 1700 block of Garvin Road in Cranberry Township, according to Chief Scott Garing.

He said firefighters arrived to find well-involved fires on both floors. He said the fire started from a charcoal grill on the back porch the family had used the previous night.

The fire crews had delays accessing water and did not have a hydrant available when arriving, but the company resolved its water supply issues within 10 minutes, Garing said. Companies were on the scene until around 5 a.m., he said.

During a 7 a.m. phone call, he said he was yet to get any sleep.

No injuries were reported.

Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company EMS, Cranberry Township police, Adams Area Fire District, Callery Volunteer Fire Company, Evans City Area Volunteer Fire Department, Harmony Fire District, Middlesex Township Volunteer Fire Company, Wexford Volunteer Fire Company, New Sewickley Fire District and Economy Borough Fire Department also responded.
