Coroner Releases Names of Four People Killed in Birthday Party Fire

An electrical outlet caused the fire that killed four people during a birthday party, with six others injured, officials said.

  • On Sunday, a house fire at 815 Church Street in Lebanon killed four people ages 73, 17, 4 and 1 during a birthday party with ten people inside the rental property.
  • Investigators say an electrical outlet on the first floor sparked the blaze, which authorities have ruled accidental, and the Pennsylvania State Police Fire Marshal's Office is assisting.
  • At 8:43 a.m., Lebanon Fire Department crews were dispatched and arrived within two minutes, finding the home fully engulfed; they withdrew as conditions worsened and requested backup from nearly a dozen other departments.
  • Aid organizations, including the Red Cross, are assisting victims while Bag of Hope, 720 Quentin Road, opens Monday for donations; one person remains in critical condition, one in stable, and four occupants escaped with minor injuries.
  • A neighbor told Local 21 News, `Once the guy said there was a baby inside the house, I tried to get in and directly across from me there was a couch on fire`, as the Lebanon County Coroner's Office identified four victims on Monday.
