BRIDGEPORT — One person was injured in a house fire that occured Sunday night in Bridgeport.

Bridgeport Volunteer Fire Department Chief Mark Subasic said the fire department responded to the call just after 9 p.m. The fire had ignited inside a duplex home on Howard Street.

Crews from Bridgeport, Wolfhurst, Brookside and Martins Ferry fire departments battled the blaze for approximately three to four hours, Subasic said.

“Crews worked well into the morning extinguishing the flames,” the department stated.

A resident of the home sustained burns and was transported to Wheeling Hospital and then to West Penn Burn Center in Pittsburgh. His condition was unknown by fire officials at press time.

The other residents of the duplex, a couple and their two children, managed to escape unharmed.

Subasic said the home is a total loss.

As of Monday, the cause of the fire remained unknown, although Subasic said he believes it was likely an accidental fire and not arson.

Bridgeport firefighters were called out to the scene again Monday evening. According to a police officer on scene, the house reignited. Martins Ferry firefighters were also called out to lend assistance.
