Child Rescued, Firefighter Hurt

A 12-year-old was rescued and a firefighter was hurt during a fire in Strattenville early Wednesday morning.

A fax sent to WESB and The HERO by State Police Fire Marshal Greg Agosti of the Ridgway barracks says he and the Srattenville Fire Department investigated the origin and cause of the blaze that damaged the two-story home at 510 Main Street at 12:25 a.m. Andrew and Lori Rawson are the owners of the house.

The fire broke out while the family was asleep. The 12-year-old was rescued from a second floor window. The child and one adult were taken to Clarion Hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation. One firefighter was treated for a minor arm injury, then released.

The fire, which was determined to be accidental, damaged about 35 percent of the house. The entire house had smoke, water and heat damage. Damage is estimated at $120,000.
