Four fire departments were dispatched Tuesday evening for a house fire in Burrell Township that turned out to be a false alarm.
Black Lick, Blairsville, Homer City and Coral-Graceton fire departments were called out by Indiana County 911 at 5:41 PM for the fire on Snyder Lane, along with the RIT Team and Citizens’ Ambulance. Black Lick fire officials said the caller reported smoke in the basement and black smoke coming out of the chimney. Fire officials did not find anything in the basement, but upon further investigation, officials confirmed that the smoke was coming from a malfunctioning furnace. No fire was found.
Crews remained on scene to ventilate the house.
