An elderly woman and her son were killed and eight others were displaced in a raging fire that tore through four homes in Kingston overnight Wednesday, according to firefighters.
Two bodies found in house fire
Fire crews say the flames spread quickly from one home to another and another and another.
A total of four were affected here on the 100 block of Eley Street in Kingston.
Two gutted were by fire, another was damaged by flames, and siding on a third melted.
“Fire was extending on both sides due to the amount of fire that was showing from the 107/109 side,” said Kingston Forty Fort Fire Chief Frank Guido.
Fire crews call it a tragedy. The coroner’s office was called, first finding the body of an elderly woman in the home where the blaze began, then continuing to search for her son.
KINGSTON â Two chiefs. One vaccine. Two very different reactions.
After recently getting the second and final dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, Kingston police Chief Rich Kotchik, 46, said he experienced significant body weakness, headaches, chills and a 103-degree fever. But that lasted less than a day.
âIf the side effects I had are anything like COVID, I would get it again because I would not want to deal with that for 10 to 14 days,â Kotchik said.
Kingston Fire Chief Frank Guido, 66, said he had no reaction to his shot, not even a sore arm like others had felt.
âI was fine, but Iâll be honest, I had a couple guys report off sick. But it was 24 hours. They took a Tylenol, flipped a switch and they were back to work the next day,â Guido said.
