PHOTO PROVIDED Extra fire equipment from Loyalsock Township, South Williamsport, Old Lycoming Township and Montoursville responded to the two-alarm blaze that broke out about 3:30 a.m. Saturday on Lyon Place in the city's East End.

Brooke Nelson, the woman city firefighters rescued from her burning home at 932 Race St. early Monday morning, has been discharged from the hospital and is staying with area relatives as fire inspectors continue their investigation into what caused the two-alarm blaze that extensively damaged the interior of the three-story property.

For the first time since the 3:30 a.m. fire, investigators were able to question Nelson on Wednesday afternoon about the fire. She told officials she was awakened by smoke. “The room in the air was heavy, she told us,” Fire Chief Sam Aungst said.

Trapped in her second-floor bedroom, she slammed the door, dialed 911 on her cellphone, opened the bedroom window and began yelling for help.

“She was definitely trapped. She leaned out the window as far as she could (to get away from the dense smoke), Aungst said.

Firefighters Broc Rupert and Lt. Jonathan Hunsinger, the first to arrive on the scene, brought her down a ladder that they had pulled from their apparatus.

She was taken to UPMC Williamsport to get treated for smoke inhalation.

“There is nothing suspicious about the fire,” Aungst assured. Nelson owns the house and has insurance, he added.

Investigators also are still trying to determine the cause of Saturday’s early morning fire that damaged a vacant rental property at 351 Lyon Place in the city’s East End.

Another fire that damaged a kitchen at 634 Sixth Ave. late Saturday was caused by a pan of water left burning unattended on the stove, Aungst said,

Concerning another city fire, this one in an overcrowded double home at 610-612 First Ave. that left 19 Spanish-speaking people homeless on May 16, has been ruled electrical in nature, Aungst said. The fire was in the common attic of the duplex and was sparked by wires in the house that had been tampered with, Aungst said.

Concerning another fire in the region, Montoursville Fire Chief Jeff Hutchins said the cause of the fire that damaged the back of Timothy Ungard’s home at 508 N. Washington St. in the borough on July 6 will remain undetermined.
