A home on Rickert Road in Hilltown Township was damaged in a fire late Thursday morning.
First responders were called to the 1600 block of Rickert Road at 11:22 a.m. on Jan. 18 for a report of a residential fire. Arriving crews encountered the occupants of the home standing outside as flames and smoke were showing from the roof of the single-story home.
Firefighters were able to place the fire under control a short time later, but not before it caused substantial damage to the home and the roof. No injuries were reported.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation. Rickert Road was closed between Telegraph and Callowhill roads for more than an hour as firefighters worked to clear the scene.
None of the surrounding homes were damaged by the fire, according to sources at the scene.
Hilltown Fire Company was assisted at the scene by fire companies from Chalfont, Silverdale, Perkasie, Plumsteadville, Sellersville, Trumbauersville, Warwick, Telford, Haycock, Harleysville, and Montgomery Township.
