A second man has died following a house fire in Glasgow that killed another man early Thursday morning, fire officials said.
First responders were called to the first block of Eaton Place at 3:10 a.m. for reports of a fire with people trapped. When firefighters from Aetna Hose, Hook and Ladder Company arrived, they found smoke coming from the back of the house, the fire company said.
Two females, a 38-year-old and a 14-year-old girl, had gotten out of the home and met firefighters in the front yard. They told first responders that the men were still inside.
