NEW KENSINGTON — Officials in Western Pennsylvania say a teenager was killed and five other people injured in a fire in a house subdivided into several apartments.

The Westmoreland County Coroner has not released the name of the youth killed in the blaze in New Kensington, where 911 dispatchers summoned firefighters about 6 a.m. Wednesday.

Witnesses say some residents jumped from windows to escape the flames in the wood-frame home. Five people were taken to UPMC Mercy, Uptown, for treatment for burns, smoke inhalation and possible broken bones.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh City Council has voted to use the city's parking tax to generate a projected $415 million over the next 31 years to fix for the city's underfunded pensions.James McAneny heads the Pennsylvania Employee Retirement Commission, which can order a state takeover if city doesn't fund its pension obligations at 50 percent by year's end. The city has about $1 billion in obligations, but less than $300 million, or 30 percent, in pension funds.McAneny told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review earlier Wednesday that finding a dedicated revenue stream to shore up the pensions over time is “not too late” to avert a state takeover, “but it's awful close to it.”But the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says McAneny approves of the parking tax plan, which still depends on the city revamping its budget to allow the money to be spent that way.
