Firefighters work at the scene of a second-alarm heavily engulfed house fire with entrapment on the 800 block of Two Taverns Road, Saturday, Nov. 3, 2018, in Mount Pleasant Township. Firefighters rescued a young child from the second floor of the house while facing heavy wind-driven fire, said United Hook and Ladder Chief Steve Rabine.

Fire crews responded to a call for fire with entrapment at about 3:15 p.m. Saturday in the 800 block of Two Taverns Road, Mount Pleasant Township, Adams County.

When they arrived, family members were trying to find the missing child, and firefighters focused on search and rescue while trying to fight back flames.

Crews pulled Frock from the second-floor back window of the home about 15 minutes into the call, United Hood and Ladder Fire Chief Steve Rabine said.
