Mount Lebanon fire officials asked folks to avoid the area.

A man and his two sons were inside the home at the time the flames went up and barely made it out.

“When we got here just heavy volume of fire coming out of the rear of the house. A little bit showing for the front. We just made an interior attack on the first and second floors and we started to notice the roof was starting to cave in,” explained fire chief Matt Davis.
