Candles May Be Cause of Fatal Fire

Candle luminaries left on the front porch of a Fredonia home may be the cause of a fire that killed two boys and left their mother and brother hospitalized. Fire investigators say, however, that the official cause of the fire has not been determined yet. 10-year-old Dawson McKinnon and his 3-year-old brother Clayton died in the fire. Their brother, 13-year-old Brody, is in Women and Children's Hospital in Buffalo. Their mother, Jennifer, is in serious condition in the burn unit at ECMC. The boys' father, Michael, was treated at an area hospital, then released. A fund to help the family has been established at Lakeshore Savings Bank.
