MILTON TOWNSHIP, Ohio - Investigators are looking for the cause of a fire that gutted a home in Milton Township.

The call came to dispatchers at around 10:15 a.m. Monday that flames were seen in the rear portion of a one-story home on the 17000 block of Florence Avenue

The first firefighters to arrive reported that the blaze had spread throughout the home and a second alarm was sent out for other fire departments to help out.

The 911 caller told dispatchers that someone may have been inside the home.

Fire Marshals have since confirmed that an elderly woman was inside the home during the fire, but she managed to the front porch and neighbors helped her out from there. She was taken to the hospital for observation.
