SALISBURY, N.Y. (WKTV) - Six-year-old Adriana Gene Vavaro has died after fire tore through her Salisbury home. The Salisbury Fire Department responded to 107 Heller Road just before 2:00 AM Saturday. 

Family members told firefighters they were unable to reach the child. After a brief search of the home in zero-visibility conditions, firefighters discovered the victim near the bedroom doorway. Adriana's parents were taken to a local hospital for smoke inhalation and lacerations.

According to the Miller-Plonka Funeral Home's website, the girl's nickname was "Boogie-Girl." She attended Kindergarten at Dolgeville Elementary School and loved to dance, cook, bake and spend time with her family according to the brief obituary.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

All my prayers are headed out to the family. Last March a very good friend of mine lost her son (7) and husband in a house fire, It is devestating. My heart aches for these angels. Try to strive for peace, this is a long painful road. So Sorry for the loss. Words escape this. Never forget, and lean on your friends. Their strength will help you, & you will need it.
