Firefighters battle another blaze at same Chester County home
Due to known structural issues, officials determined not to enter the property.
EASTTOWN TWP., Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- An investigation is underway after a Chester County home went up in flames for the second time in recent months.
Chopper 6 was overhead Tuesday as crews worked to contain the flames along Leopard and Sugartown roads in Easttown Township.
The call came in at 10:45 a.m. as flames could be seen shooting from the roof.
Fire crews recognized the residence due to a blaze earlier this year.
"Everybody immediately recognized the address. It was a pretty substantial fire the last time," said Berwyn Fire Company Chief Justin Brundage.
Due to known structural issues, officials determined not to enter the property on Tuesday.
"The fire had broken through most of the boarded up windows, and there was fire coming out of all three floors on just about every side," said Brundage.
There were no first responder injuries reported, however, a woman was transported with minor injuries to Paoli Hospital.
This is the second major fire at the property in recent months.

Back on May 1, a person was driving by and called 911 to report flames showing from the windows.
The fire reached two alarms before it was brought under control.
No injuries were reported in that incident.
The Chester County Fire Marshal previously told Action News the cause of the May 1 fire was ruled underdetermined.
Online records indicate the home was built in the 1900s and last sold in 2016 for nearly $900,000.
The ATF along with local authorities are now investigating.
