LOCK HAVEN – A Wednesday night fire caused significant damage to a home on W. Bald Eagle Street, but all occupants were able to escape safely.

At approximately 9 p.m. on February 12, the Lock Haven Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 107 W. Bald Eagle Street in the city. Upon arrival, crews encountered heavy fire at the rear of the building. A second alarm was struck, bringing additional assistance from the Avis, Flemington, Castanea, Dunnstown, and Jersey Shore fire departments.
