17-year-old boy dies in house fire

flamesLYONS, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say one person has died in a central Kansas house fire.

Lyons Fire Chief Brad Reid says crews responded to the fire around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday. KWCH-TV reports that the parents made it out of the home safely. But Reid says their son, who was living on the second floor, did not.

The Lyons School District sent a note out to students and parents saying 17-year-old Dylon Pavlus-Newill, a junior at Lyons High School, died in the fire.
