Niskayuna girl dies after being pulled from fire

NISKAYUNA, N.Y. (AP) -- Fire officials say a girl has died after being carried from a burning home in suburban Albany.

Niskayuna Fire Chief Dale Lingenfelter tells local media outlets the girl was found unconscious in a downstairs bedroom after a neighbor spotted smoke and firefighters were called to the house just before 8:30 a.m. Friday.

He says the girl, believed to be about 13 years old, died at a nearby hospital.

The cause of the fire is under investigation, but Lingenfelter says it's believed to have started in a kitchen.

He says the girl lived with her father, who was away at work.

The state says about 200 animals remain on the property.
