Teen escapes burning home

WEST SENECA, N.Y. (WIVB) -

A quick-thinking teenager made a daring escape out of his burning West Seneca home.

Crews were called to the home on Aurora Street around 11 p.m. Wednesday.

Investigators say the 14 year old busted out a front window on the second floor to avoid the flames. Firefighters say heat from the fire woke him up.

He was treated for minor smoke inhalation and is expected to be okay.

At this point there's no word on a cause.
