An abandoned Brownsville house was destroyed Tuesday night on Frick Street in a fire that appeared suspicious.
A male was reportedly fleeing the scene when the fire started at about 10 p.m., officials said. A state police fire marshal and Brownsville Police responded to the scene with firefighters Tuesday night, and are continuing their investigation.

North Brownsville, Luzerne and Hiller fire departments also responded to the scene, along with Brownsville and Fayette EMS, according to a 911 supervisor.
