Levittown Fire Company No. 2 Chief Chris Shortt said that a police officer on patrol in the area saw smoke coming from the home and alerted a dispatcher just past 5:30 a.m., leading to firefighters being called to the 600 block of Saxony Drive.
Firefighters arrived to find flames coming from the second floor of the residence, Shortt said.
Crews searched the home and found no one inside, the chief said.

It took firefighters about 30 minutes to bring the fire under control.
“[Firefighters] got in, got upstairs, and put on a good knock on the fire,” Shortt said.

The Bristol Township Fire Marshal’s Office was investigating the cause of the blaze.
The fire destroyed a second-floor bedroom and caused extensive heat and smoke damage on the rest of the floor, while the first level suffered water damage, Fire Marshal Kevin Dippolito said.
In addition to Levittown Fire Company No. 2, the Edgely, Falls Township, Fairless Hills, and Penndel fire companies responded.
