Buffalo, NY – A Town of Aurora man died in an early morning fire Tuesday in a trailer park off Route 16.
The name of the victim, believed to be in his early 60s, has not been released. A 70-year-old man who also lived in the trailer home was alerted by a smoke detector and escaped the flames.
An East Aurora police officer on routine patrol responded soon after the alarm was sounded. But heavy fire and smoke prevented a rescue attempt.
Fire investigators are looking at careless smoking as a possible cause. The trailer home was a total loss.
