Firefighters had a majority of the fire under control within minutes of a arrival but the fire did extensive damage to the ground floor and the upstairs living area.
No injuries were reported. A State Police Fire Marshal was requested to the scene to investigate but early information indicated it was from a propane heater.
Responding to the scene along with Mar Lin firefighters were emergency personnel from Pottsville, Minersville, Schuylkill Haven, and Seltzer.
The Mar Lin Volunteer Fire Company has posted to their Facebook page that a Gofundme has been setup for the fire victims. The link can be found below.
