The blaze heavily damaged a home in the unit block of East Lane in the Levittown section of Falls Township.
The fire remained under investigation by the fire marshal and police, officials said.
Fire Marshal Rich Dippolito reported Tuesday that he is looking to speak with a woman in her 30s who was driving a red sedan. She reportedly stopped at the residence just as the fire erupted around 9:30 p.m.
