The fire originated from an electrical outlet in an upstairs bedroom, according to Cochran Hose Fire Chief Jeff Neff and the Allegheny County Fire Marshal.
A Sewickley family is displaced from their Nevin Avenue home today following a bedroom fire that occurred just days before Christmas. “They will be displaced for awhile. I’m not sure when they’ll get back in,” Cochran Hose Fire Chief Jeff Neff said. The Allegheny County Fire Marshal has determined the fire at 860 Nevin Ave. on the corner of Crescent Avenue was caused by an electrical outlet in the wall, where the fire originated. Fire officials said it was unclear if the outlet was overloaded. Neff said the family thankfully wasn’t home when the fire started around 5 p.m. Saturday.

Crystal Richards stopped the school bus carrying students to dial 911 for help.
Quaker Valley Assistant Superintendent Heidi Ondek presented Crystal Richards with a certificate and a brass bookmark at Tuesday's board meeting to recognize the district bus driver for taking swift action at the scene of a November house fire. Richards appeared reluctant to take any credit for coming to the aid of an Aleppo Township couple whose house was destroyed in the Nov. 17 blaze that killed one of the homeowners. “When I went up the hill, there were already people there,” Richards of Sewickley told the Quaker Valley School Board. High school students, however, told Sewickley Patch it was Richards who stopped to call 911 on her cell phone after her bus carrying students came upon the fire about 3:20 p.m. in the Ferndale Avenue area…
