Fatal Bedroom Fire
Firefighters are seen as they stretch hose lines into a blazing single family dwelling on Turner Avenue. An elderly woman who was trapped in her burning bedroom perished due to injuries sustained in the blaze. A valiant attempt by a family member to rescue her resulted with him being seriously injured. Attempts to rescue her were hampered due to the many objects/obstructions found in the home. When firefighters reached her room they found a bookshelf blocking her doorway. A firefighter was also injured. January 9, 2008 (Bill Hansen photos).
