Horrible House Fire In North County
Written by admin on March 9, 2010
I don’t know why these seem to be happening so much lately, but, they are.
Anyway, one person died and another was feared dead Monday night in a fire that destroyed an Encinitas home.
When firefighters arrived at 7:26 p.m. at the home, at 1125 Regal Road, it was completely engulfed with flames shooting through the top of the single-story house, said Deputy Fire Chief Scott Henry of the Encinitas Fire Department.
Fire crews doused the fire by 8:10 p.m., Henry said, and soon discovered one of the residents, a wheelchair-bound 82-year-old man, dead inside the wreckage of the home, Henry said.
As of late Monday night, a second resident of the home, an 83-year-old woman, had not been accounted for, Henry said.
