One person died in a house fire at 516 Park Ave. in Lockport. Crews responded around 3:30 a.m. Sunday and found heavy fire on both the first and second floors.
- Address: 516 Park Ave., Lockport
- Under control: after about two hours
- Firefighters injured: none
- Cause: under investigation
Firefighters searched the first floor for a trapped person, but hoarding conditions hindered the search. The victim was found and first responders tried life-saving procedures, but the person was pronounced dead at the scene. A second resident got out with second- and third-degree burns and was taken to ECMC. A third resident escaped through a first-floor window with a dog and was evaluated and released.
