Pittsburgh, PA - Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire crews responded to a residential structure fire on the 3400 block of Ligonier Street in Lower Lawrenceville, where the incident rapidly escalated to three alarms.

Firefighters encountered a heavily involved structure with two occupants inside. A male resident escaped to the top floor/attic area and jumped to a neighboring home, where he was rescued by crews using a ladder truck. He sustained first-degree burns to his face and second- and third-degree burns to his hands. A female resident was transported to the hospital in stable condition for smoke inhalation.

The fire also extended to an adjacent, unoccupied structure, causing significant damage. During operations, a mayday was declared after a floor collapse inside one of the buildings, though all firefighters were accounted for and no injuries resulted from the collapse.

Two firefighters were transported to the hospital in stable condition—one with a hip injury and another for evaluation of minor facial burns. The Fire Investigation Unit is working to determine the cause of the blaze.
