BRISTOL TOWNSHIP No one was injured a blaze that ripped through a Pennsylvania Avenue home in the Croydon section of Bristol Township Thursday night.

The fire broke out around 9 p.m., according to Croydon Fire Co. Chief Tom Tryon. At one point during the battle, flames were so intense that Tryon ordered all crews out of the structure.

The fire was caused by an electrical cord that was plugged into a laptop that was under a bed, officials said.

As fire crews were finishing up at the scene, police were called to break up a fight between restoration company workers who had arrived at the home. No one was arrested, fire officials said.
