Fatal Olean Fire UPDATE

A one-year-old boy is dead, and firefighters believe they may have found the remains of a 3-year-old child after a late night house fire in Olean.

Firefighters had been searching what was left of the South Second Street house all day looking for any signs of the 3-year-old. At around 5 p.m., they found what they think could be the child's remains. A four-year-old boy escaped the house without being hurt.

The childrens' father, Cecil Gayton, suffered severe burns while trying to get back into the building to save his children. He's in critical condition at ECMC.

Gayton and his children lived in a first floor apartment. The occupants of the second floor apartment were not hurt.

Is there a fund or a place where contributions can be made?
