Fire engulfs Cecil Township house
MCDONALD – A Cecil Township house was destroyed Tuesday after a fire that started in the kitchen fully engulfed the home.

Rumbaugh was taken to UPMC-Mercy hospital, Pittsburgh, with unknown injuries.
The fire broke out before 9 p.m. Fire departments from Midway and Cecil, Chartiers and Mt. Pleasant townships responded. The dog was rescued, but a cat died in the flames.
