One person dies in three-alarm East Liverpool house fire

The State Fire Marshal and the Columbiana County Coroner are investigating a deadly fire in East Liverpool.

Firefighters worked early Sunday morning to put out the three-alarm fire that broke out in a home on Penn Avenue.

The first crew dispatched to the home, who was told that someone might be trapped inside the home, found heavy smoke on the first floor.

Firefighters put out flames on the first floor, but the fire spread to the second floor where the body of the victim was found.

The name of the victim has not yet been released, and investigators are still looking for the cause of the fire.

No firefighters were injured.
