Cigarette sparked deadly house

If it wasn't bingo night, Susan Hurtt had a routine when her husband went to his night job as a security guard.

Hurtt, 64, would walk to Wilson Farms, buy scratch-off lottery tickets and return to her home on 22nd Street to stay in for the night, neighbors said.

Hurtt's typical night in Thursday ended in tragedy, when firefighters carried her from her second-story bedroom after a cigarette sparked a fire in a bathroom at about 10:10 p.m.

She was pronounced dead in Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center a short time later, firefighters said.

Neighbors on Friday remembered Hurtt as a "loveful" person who lived for bingo nights, held long conversations with her neighbors and once worked as a home Moncler Jackets care aide.

Hurtt and her husband, Larry, were inseparable, said Delores Gordon, who has lived next door to the Hurtts for 22 years.

"They loved each other like it was nothing," said Joshua Highway, whose grandmother is a longtime friend and bingo partner of the Hurtts. "They were always together."

Gordon said the Hurtts often looked in Moncler Jackets on neighbors and went to bingo nights together.

Hurtt was home alone at the time of the fire; her husband was at work.

Firefighters arrived on the scene, between Ontario and Niagara avenues, to find heavy smoke and flames on the second floor. They found Hurtt in a second-floor bedroom.

Two neighbors also tried to push open a door to the house but were met with dark smoke, Highway said.

Chief of Fire Prevention Greg Colangelo said an investigation showed the fire was started by a cigarette improperly disposed of in the bathroom on the second floor. The fire did not reach the bedroom where Hurtt was likely sleeping, he said.

Colangelo said none of the smoke detectors in the house were operating at the time of the fire.

Highway said Hurtt was a regular bingo player at the Knights of Columbus on 23rd Street, where she would arrive early with her husband to get her regular seat and set up her good luck charms.

The couple were planning to fix up their 22nd Street house and sell it to move to a smaller home, Gordon said.

The Hurtts' house on 22nd Street on Friday was boarded up and posted as condemned. Larry Hurtt, the neighbors said, was staying with family. He returned briefly to the house on Friday.

"He said, 'I lost the love of my life,' " Gordon recalled.

Along with her husband, Susan Hurtt is survived by a daughter.

Firefighters also responded to an unrelated house fire a block away on 22nd Street near Niagara Avenue early Friday, Colangelo said. The cause of that fire is still under investigation. No one was injured, he said.
