Firefighter and pregnant woman recovering after early morning house fire in Washington County

ELRAMA, Pa. (KDKA) -- A pregnant woman and a firefighter are recovering at the hospital after they were injured in a fire in Washington County Friday morning.

Elrama Fire Chief Lenny Bailey said the firefighter suffered severe burns. Both of their conditions are unknown at this time.

Dzintra Ullis was terrified to see her neighbor's house up in flames.

It was around 5 a.m. on Fairview by Pollock, when she woke up to flashing lights and noises coming from outside, just like Leslie Naple next door.

"I came running out and it was just engulfed in flames," Naple said. "It was horrible, horrible. Your whole life goes up in smoke in one minute."

"I was wondering, where are they? Are they okay?" Ullis said.

They quickly learned that the older couple and a son who lived there had gotten out. However, his pregnant girlfriend was trapped inside.

"Firefighters rescued her out of a second-floor window via ground ladder," Bailey said.

Bailey said they transported the woman and a firefighter to the hospital, as they worked to get the fire under control.

"We did what we could," Bailey said.

Ullis only moved to the neighborhood a year ago, and in that time, she said the family had been there for her.

"They gave us tomatoes from their garden, and I made them some tomato sauce the other day. They're very nice people, and they've been helping us rebuild some part of our fence here," Ullis said.

Now she and the rest of the community are going to be there for them, as they get through a challenging time.

"Whatever they need, absolutely," Naple said.

"My heart goes out to them. I want them to be okay," Ullis said.

Bailey said the house is a total loss.

A cause is unclear. The fire marshal is investigating.
