    Due to known structural issues, officials determined not to enter the property.

    There were no first responder injuries reported. However, one person was transported with minor injuries to Paoli Hospital.

    Sugartown Road will remain closed between Leopard and Lenape roads over the next several hours.

    This is the second major fire at the property in recent months.
