Coatesville, PA (March 18, 2022) – Around 2:20 a.m. on Friday morning, March 18, one person was killed in a fatal house fire in Coatesville.
According to police, the fire broke out in a mobile home on Maplewood Drive. When fire crews received the phone call, they quickly arrived at the scene to find that the fire spread throughout the home within minutes. This engulfed the home in smoke and flames. Police learned that one person may have been inside and worked to get inside the home to help.
Paramedics and numerous other responders were immediately dispatched to the scene. Fire crews tried to rescue the person who was trapped inside the home but they were unable to successfully do so. The party, who has not yet been identified, was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
Due to the severity of the fire, the area was blocked for an extended period of time. It took fire crews less than an hour to bring the fire fully under control.
No further details have been released. The investigation into the circumstances of the fire continues.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
