A 60-year-old man died in a fire early Wednesday morning that ripped through his Olney, Pa., home, authorities said. His two adult sons escaped the flames. They were awakened around 4:40 a.m. by the fire alarm. The blaze had broken out in the living room, and the man became trapped in the living room. One sun escaped to the roof, where firefighters rescued him.

The other son ran for the garden hose to help save his father, authorities said, but his father was pronounced dead shortly after 5 a.m. when the fire was brought under control. The fire commissioner said the fire alarm was poorly placed. He said that it might have sounded an alarm earlier if it had been closer to the ceiling.

A construction worker was pinned by a lift Monday when it fell at a high school building, authorities said. He was taken by helicopter to the hospital, where he was treated for facial injuries and possible traumatic brain injury. He was conscious when medical personnel arrived, authorities said.

The bucket lift, with a four-wheeled motorized base, tipped over for unknown reasons, authorities said. Other workers saw the accident and quickly pulled him to safety. The lift was being moved closer to the high school's swimming pool, which was under construction.
