NORTHUMBERLAND — The death of a Northumberland man due to smoke inhalation Thursday, led the state fire marshal to remind people of the importance of having working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in their homes.

Fire and police officials reported receiving a call shortly after 10 a.m. Thursday for a welfare check at 192 Lancaster Road in Northumberland.
