Actually, it was a double fatality fire. Woman and her elderly mother, apparently.
I spent most of last night being quite aware of the fire, but for different reasons than russotto.
I have a county EMS pager that I have to carry for the CISM team. I receive the county all-calls in addition to stuff related solely to the team, so about every half-hour I was getting situation updates.
KYW's report says the cause is still undetermined.
The article in the
Times Herald doesn't speak to cause either, but does contain more details. The print edition had some pictures of what was left of the building.
Suck-ass thing to happen around the holidays.
Strangely, WPVI tv decided that a housefire in North Wales that was easily contained with little damage and no fatalities was news, but the double fatality in Trappe is nowhere to be found.
