Kushequa Avenue House Destroyed

Fire destroyed a Kushequa Avenue house early this morning.

Mount Jewett Volunteer Fire Department First Assistant Chief Ed Fisher said flames were showing "big time" when they arrived, and the house was "well-involved" in fire. He added that electric lines were knocked down and arcing, and Allegheny Power had to be called in to turn off the electricity.

Fisher said the house was owned by Jerod Duchi, but was unoccupied at the time of the fire. Firefighters were called out at 2:33 a.m. and were on the scene until 7:10 a.m.

30 to 35 firefighters from Mount Jewett, Kane, Hamlin Township and Smethport responded to the scene. Clermont was on standby.

Fisher said they are waiting for a state police fire marshal to investigate and determine the cause of the fire.
