CAMBRIA COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ)–Crews worked to put out a house fire that broke out Saturday night in Cambria County.

The Johnstown Firefighters-Local 463 posted on Facebook that the fire broke out around 9 p.m. at the 500 block of Franklin Street in Kernville. Crews could see smoke and fire coming out from the upper level of the house when they first arrived.
