Fire Destroys Home, Kills Woman Living Inside

Posted: Updated:

Fire destroyed a Markey Township home on Monday and killed a woman living inside.

Firefighters believe the two other people who lived with her were not home at the time.

The flames started around noon on Maplewood Drive in Roscommon County's Markey Township.

The fire chief says oxygen tanks contributed to the fire's intensity but it is not clear if that is how the fire started. Neighbors say the people living at the home are disabled.

A state police fire investigator is looking for a cause. The fire is not considered suspicious.

9 and 10's Kyle Mitchell and photojournalist Jeff Blevins have more on the story.
