RED LION, Pa. — One firefighter went to the hospital for their efforts to control a blaze at a Red Lion home, according to Alliance Fire and Rescue.

The fire broke out at a home on the 200 block of South Main Street in Red Lion around 1:21 a.m. on Sept. 6, York County 911 Dispatch said.

One firefighter was sent to the hospital for dehydration and was checked and released, Alliance Fire and Rescue's deputy fire chief Chad Arnold said. No other injuries were reported, and the coroner was not called to the scene.

Arnold says the cause of the fire is yet unknown, but most of the damage is concentrated in the rear and right side of the two units in the building.
