Four members of Alcedo family dead in fire in Mount Vernon, NY MOUNT VERNON, N.Y., Oct. 29 (UPI) -- Four members of one family were killed in a housefire Tuesday in a New York suburb with officials saying they were trapped in a basement apartment. Ted Stevenson, fire chief in Mount Vernon, N.Y., just north of the New York City line, told The (White Plains) Journal News a door connecting the apartment to the outside was locked both on the inside and outside. Mayor Ernie Davis said the victims appeared to have been trapped by "locks that shouldn't be there." Fire officials had not released the identities of the victims Tuesday but relatives told the newspaper they were Alcedo and Nancy Urena and two of their children, Jesus, 21, and Mariselis, 18. Another resident, believed to be the couple's second son, was injured trying to rescue Jesus. Stevenson said the blaze apparently started in a parked car and spread to the house. He said it spread quickly and firefighters who arrived not long after 3 a.m. found "a heavy wall of flames." Dan Garcia identified himself as Alcedo's nephew. He said the family moved to Mount Vernon from the Dominican Republic. "It's hard to see all my family members around crying for someone they really loved," he said.
