After extinguishing flames at a home in Pittsburgh’s Carrick neighborhood early Tuesday morning, fire crews were called back to the scene hours later.
Firefighters were first dispatched to the home along West Cherryhill Street around 1:15 a.m. Tuesday, according to TribLive news partner WTAE.
Despite knocking down the flames the first time, crews were called back to the home about four hours later for a rekindle, WTAE said.
There were no reports of injuries from the fire, WTAE reported.
An Allegheny County dispatcher could not confirm the initial time of the fire to TribLive on Tuesday morning. The dispatcher said as of 6:15 a.m. all crews had left the scene.
A message to Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire Chief Darryl Jones seeking additional information was not returned Tuesday morning.

In a bizarre turn of events, fire crews were called to extinguish flames twice at the same Carrick home within a matter of hours. The first fire broke out in the early morning hours, causing significant damage to the residence. However, just hours later, another fire erupted, leaving firefighters to once again battle the flames.
The cause of the fires is still under investigation, but authorities are looking into the possibility of arson. Thankfully, no injuries were reported in either incident, but the residents of the home have been left devastated by the double blaze.
Neighbors are shocked by the events, with many offering their support and assistance to the affected family. The community is coming together to help those in need during this difficult time.
As the investigation continues, fire crews are reminding everyone to exercise caution and to report any suspicious activity in order to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
