• Looking back: 10 years since the historic Bethlehem Steel fire in Lackawanna (dailydispatch.com) — Ten years after Lackawanna's largest fire, a retrospective revisits the former Bethlehem Steel plant blaze that took hundreds of firefighters 11 days to extinguish. Investigators determined that a hot bulb fell into a bin of plastic, igniting the November 9, 2016, fire that sent an enormous smoke plume overhead. 
• Cheapest gas stations in Buffalo (wicz.com) — SNK on Hamburg Turnpike in Lackawanna ranks tenth in a Buffalo-area roundup of low regular-gas prices, listed at $3.79 a gallon. Stacker compiled the list using GasBuddy data, with the lowest listed price of $3.66 at Doogie's in Irving. Prices may have changed since publication.
