A fatal early-morning fire on June 4, 2017, destroyed a three-story building at 2411 Wylie Avenue in Pittsburgh’s Hill District and killed 62-year-old Jesse Lauw. The blaze, reported at about 3:09 a.m., consumed the structure that housed a first-floor business with apartments above; firefighters found Lauw on an upper floor and the Allegheny County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death thermal and inhalation injuries.

Another resident, 60-year-old Lonnie Davis, also died after reportedly jumping from the building. Four other people were injured, including a firefighter who fell through the roof, while three other jumpers survived.

Does anyone have information about conditions in that building or what was happening in the Hill District that night?
