Olean Dad's Condition Improves

An Olean man hospitalized following a fire that killed two of his children has been upgraded to serious condition at ECMC.

Cecil Gayton suffered severe burns while trying to rescue his one-year-old son and three-year-old daughter from the fire Sunday night in their South Second Street home. A third child, a four-year-old boy, did escape without any injuries.

The fire started at around 11:20 Sunday night. Fire Chief Robert Bell says they haven't determined a cause of the blaze yet.

Back in September 10-year-old Dawson McKinnon and his 3-year-old brother Clayton died in a house fire in Fredonia.
