Hoarding Conditions Complicated Catasauqua House Fire That Killed Homeowner, Officials Say Extreme hoarding conditions complicated fighting a Lehigh County house fire that left one victim dead Saturday, fire officials said. The blaze broke out around 5:35 a.m. at 119 Union St., in Catasauqua, bringing more than 100 firefighters to the scene.
