Newsworking's Bill Rohrer shot the video above early this morning and filed this report. According to Bill, this is a home firefighters have visited in the past:

Lehigh County Fire Dispatch transmitted the box at 02:16 for an unknown type of fire to the rear of Woodlawn station 32, sending one engine to investigate.

Engine 32 responds and goes on location reporting a working house fire at 2135 Belmont Street. Lehigh County fills the box for companies 11 and 3.

Chief 32 (Held) arrives and has heavy fire on the top floor of the 2-story S/F/D and fire through the roof. At 02:22 he transmits the second alarm filling out the rest of stations 32, 11, 3 and bringing in 26 and Whitehall's Rescue 8 for the FAST company.

Engine 32 positioned on the B side of the dwelling, stretches in two hand lines through the front door. Engine 11-11 hits the hydrant in front of the fire building and feeds water to Engine 32.

Tower Ladder 3 positions in front of Engine 32 and goes to work on the B side of the building.

Interior crews aggressively darken down the fire within 20 minutes with their two hand lines.

Chief 32 special-calls Allentown's Engine 10, Whitehall's Engine 2 and Han-Le-Co's Engine 33 for manpower.

This is the fourth fire at this address that firefighters have battled here. The Fire Marshall's office is investigating.
