Man sleeps as house burns
A suburban Pittsburgh man slept soundly as his home caught on fire and partially collapsed. It wasn't until firefighters did a walk-through of the home more than two hours later that he woke up.
Ross Township Fire Marshal John Reubi said he was "flabbergasted" that anyone survived the blaze, which broke out at around 2:40 am on Sunday and was reported by a passer-by.
