LACKAWANNA, N.Y.—More than 100 firefighters struggled to contain a massive blaze at a former Bethlehem Steel site that broke out early Wednesday when a hot light bulb fell onto cardboard inside a business, authorities said.
Local media outlets reported that Fred Heinle, the director of development for the city of Lackawanna, said the fire started early Wednesday when a hot bulb fell on some combustibles inside a sprawling building that houses several businesses at the industrial site just south of Buffalo.
