City fire officials reported that one person was killed and another hurt Wednesday evening in a house fire in North Olean. Olean Fire Chief Tim Richardson said that one person was killed and another is at Erie County Medical Center following the fire reported at 7:20 p.m. at 1671 East Fall Road. “Crews were notified of a person trapped in the first floor and made a rescue attempt through the window, but efforts were unsuccessful in rescuing the individual who had already succumbed to injuries from the smoke and fire,” Richardson said in a release Thursday. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families from this tragedy.” The identities of the victims were withheld pending notifications of family, Richardson said.
