VIDEO: Two victims are dead following a house fire in Lackawanna on Tuesday. The Lackawanna Fire Department says firefighters responded to a house fire on Girard Avenue around 10:30 p.m. When they arrived on the scene, they requested a second alarm after seeing a heavy fire in the rear with people trapped inside. Firefighters rescued a 5-year-old child from the roof and three others who were in an upstairs bedroom. “I followed the first truck in and saw a little girl on the top of the roof and the father in the yard screaming,” neighbor Nick Radka said. All victims were treated at the scene before they were transported to local hospitals. A 28-year-old female and a four-year-old later died from their injuries. A 1-month-old infant and the five-year-old child remain hospitalized. “I’m grateful you know they saved livesโฆI just pray that you know they all get the comfort they need right now,” Radka added.
