Three people were displaced when a fire broke out in their Reading row home early Thursday.
According to fire officials, one person was stranded on a back porch but was rescued by firefighters.
The fire was reported around 6:15 a.m. at 107 Buttonwood Street, and was under control in less than 20 minutes.
Officials said three adults were asleep upstairs when smoke detectors woke them up. They went downstairs, saw the fire in the front of the first floor and tried to put it out with a fire extinguisher.
That didn't work, so two of them got out and called 911, authorities said, and the third got stuck on the second floor porch.
One of the adjacent row homes sustained some smoke damage.
Fire officials said the fire appeared to be accidental, probably electrical in nature.
No injuries were reported.
The Red Cross is helping the family.
