CECIL TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Flames tore through a home in Cecil Township early Thursday morning, displacing four adults and three children, officials said.
The fire was reported about 3 a.m. on steep Cardinal Drive, which was snow-covered and became slick as crews battled the fire.

Officials said a wood-burning stove might have sparked the flames, which fully engulfed the house.
The Red Cross is providing assistance to the displaced residents.
Getting closer look at home that caught on fire. Very badly burned. Firefighter told me thankfully they had a lot of manpower to help fight this fire bc it's so cold. Still waiting to talk to chief @WPXI pic.twitter.com/TOpw5ilokm
