Lawrence County dispatchers say police, firefighters and medics were called to the 1500 block of Old Butler Road at 10:02 a.m. on Saturday.

Flames and smoke were both coming from the structure when they arrived.

Shenango firefighters say a 50-year-old man was pulled from the house. Emergency crews began giving him CPR in the front yard but he was pronounced dead after arriving at UPMC Jameson Hospital in New Castle.

The Lawrence County coroner later identified the man as Michael Nuzzo.

Shenango Fire Chief David Rishel said the fire was quickly knocked down after crews arrived.

Nuzzo was the only person who lived in the home, firefighters say.

Shenango Police Department’s fire investigation unit is working to learn the cause of the fire.
