Crews also had to deal with brush fires sparked after the house caught fire Tuesday afternoon.

NANTICOKE, Pa. — Heavy smoke was seen for miles as flames tore through a duplex on Keech Street in Nanticoke. 

The fire chief says they responded around 1:40 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, and when they arrived, the fire already started to spread to another home next door.

Capps says she spoke with her neighbor about what he heard just before the fire started, “He said that he heard somebody next door, and nobody lives next door.”

The fire chief says a state police fire marshal will investigate the cause of the fire, and the home will most likely be torn down soon.

Detectives with the Nanticoke Police Department say they,…
