<p>NANTICOKE &#8212; A fire Saturday morning rekindled around noon, causing more damage to a double-block home in Nanticoke and displacing three people.</p><p>Shortly before 8 a.m., area fire departments responded to a house fire at 131-133 Orchard St.</p><p>&#8220;We had it knocked down in 10 to 15 minutes,&#8221; Fire Chief Kevin Hazleton said.</p><p>A post on Nanticoke City Fire Department&#8217;s Facebook page said the fire was visible from the second-floor front bedroom. He said all occupants and pets were accounted for.</p><p>The fire was ruled accidental and the residents were allowed back in the home. A Nanticoke city code official said the residents were &#8220;thrilled&#8221; they were allowed to begin restoring the home.</p><p>According to Luzerne County 911, a call then came in at 12:18 p.m. reporting that the fire had reignited.</p><p>&#8220;There must have been a hot spot,&#8221; the chief said. &#8220;It&#8217;s every fire company&#8217;s worst nightmare.&#8221;</p><p>Hazleton said a restoration company was in the home to begin cleanup when the fire reignited.</p><p>Again, Hazleton said, the fire was knocked down quickly.</p><p>The Hanover Township and Mocanaqua fire and EMS personnel helped Nanticoke on the afternoon call, along with Newport Township EMS.</p><p><ins>Hazleton said the displaced residents have alternate lodging available and assistance from the American Red Cross was not needed.</ins></p><style>
