Wednesday, October 16, 2013

Fire forced seven people and two dogs from twin homes in Horsham early Wednesday.

Fire officials say the blaze started around 12:30 a.m. in a shed adjacent to a home in the 100 block of Brownstone Lane.

Flames quickly spread to the main house and the attached twin.

All residents, including pets, managed to get out safely. No injuries were reported.

One of the homes was completely destroyed, the other heavily damaged.

The Red Cross is providing shelter to those displaced.

Fire officials want to know if a generator that was providing electricity to one of the homes sparked the blaze.
