Firefighters responded to a working structure fire in South Cass Township on Tuesday evening.
The call came in just before 9:00pm with units being called to 1305 Valley Road near Minersville for a report of a house fire.
Firefighters arrived to find heavy fire coming from the 2nd floor of the former Mennigs Bar.
Within a half hour, the fire was marked under control, but the 2nd floor sustained heavy damage.
According to Minersville Fire Chief Eric Eichenberg, a man and woman lived in the apartment upstairs. The woman was the only person home at the start of the fire, and she escaped uninjured.
Chief Eichenberg said the cause of the fire was under investigation and a Pennsylvania State Police Fire Marshal will be at the scene on Wednesday.
