Fire Cause May Never Be Known

Fire investigators say they may never be able to determine the cause of a blaze that killed two children in Olean last Sunday.

They say the South Second Street house was so badly damaged that clues to what started the blaze are nearly impossible to find, although they are continuing their investigation.

18-month-old Jamar Gayton and 3-year-old Aubriana Gayton died in the fire. Their father, Cecil, is still in the burn unit at ECMC after trying to rescue the children. He was able to rescue his third child, 4-year-old Raemont.

The Gayton Relief Fund has been set up at Community Bank. Donations of food, clothing and Christmas presents may be dropped off at Mayor David Carucci's office.
