2nd Death From Newburgh House Fire; Donations Page Set Up

NEWBURGH, NY — A second person has died as a result of a devastating house fire Friday morning in Newburgh. The name of the adult woman has not been released officially pending notification of next of kin. A 2-year-old, also unnamed, died the day of the fire.

Two firefighters and three police officers were treated for smoke inhalation and were released, the Daily Freeman said.

Catherine Napoli, on behalf of Daniel Napoli, created a GoFundMe donation page for her family.

The “Napoli Family Fire Relief Fund” is seeking to raise $25,000. As of Monday afternoon, 69 people have donated almost $11,000.

“With Thanksgiving and the holidays, we’ve all given thanks for what we are grateful for, some things we may take for granted,” Catherine Napoli wrote. “The Napoli Family has suffered a tragic loss of their home, all of their possessions, but most importantly two loves ones. Please donated to try help them get back on their feet — an donation amount helps.”

The donation page can be found here.
