the rear of the structure while conducting a primary search of the remaining
rooms on the first floor. A second team
of firefighters conducted a primary
search of the second floor.
After knocking down the bulk of
the fire, crews conducted a primary
search of the rear bedroom where the
fire was concentrated and located the
child's body in a corner of the room.
Crews preserved the scene for investigators and a fire department chaplain
assisted in the notification of family
members.
One firefighter suffered a sprain or
strain injury following a ceiling collapse.
Investigators determined that the fire
began when the victim's older brother
ignited a toy in a closet in the rear bedroom. The brother attempted to conceal
the fire, causing a delay in its detection
by other family members.
The residence was equipped with
a single operating smoke alarm in a
common area. Several other smoke
alarms had been removed and were
found on a kitchen counter.
The home was a two-story wood structure and occupied a ground floor area of
1,600 square feet (149 square meters).
The fire caused an estimated
$150,000 in damage to the residence,
valued at $250,000. Damage to the contents, valued at $62,500, was estimated
at $50,000.
OHIO
Fatal house fire blamed on curtains
ignited by lamp
One man died in an early morning
house fire that started when heat from
a lamp ignited drapery materials.
The fire department was dispatched
to the scene at 4:46 a.m. when one of
the home's occupants called 911. Arriving firefighters found smoke showing
from a two-story residence and learned
that one occupant was still inside the
structure in a second-floor bedroom.
Crews entered the residence to attempt
a rescue and found the victim already
deceased. Crews used water to extinguish the fire, which was confined to
the victim's bedroom.
Firefighters learned that an occupant
in a first-floor bedroom was alerted
to the fire by a smoke detector, but
heavy smoke conditions prevented him
from entering the victim's bedroom.
The occupant then awakened another
resident and exited the residence while
calling 911.
Investigators determined that a lamp
in the victim's bedroom either fell or
was knocked against a window and
ignited curtains before spreading to the
wall. Reports indicated that the victim
may have been intoxicated, impairing
his ability to escape.
The residence was protected by at
least one battery-operated smoke detector, but no detection equipment was
present in the victim's bedroom.
The residence occupied a ground
floor area of 1,088 square feet (101
