JAMESTOWN, NY - At 8:09 A.M. on February 14th, Jamestown Fire Dept. was dispatched to 1414 East Second Street for a reported structure fire. Engine 4 went on scene reported smoke showing. Car 1 requested an off-shift of 15+1. Deputy Fire Chief Matt Coon said one person suffered burns and was transported to UPMC Chautauqua for treatment. No other injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire was ruled accidental, from improperly discarded smoking material.
