PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- One person was taken to the hospital after a house caught fire in Pittsburgh's Elliott neighborhood.

It appeared that the home where the fire started was sandwiched between a couple of others, but it's unclear if the flames spread to those homes or if there was any damage to the other homes.

Dispatchers tell KDKA that one person was taken to the hospital by medics. Their condition is unknown at this time.

It's also unclear how the fire started.
