Fatal Fire on Crawford Avenue

Chief Brian Brett said firefighters responded around 3:45 a.m. Wednesday morning to a mobile home on fire in the 500 block of Crawford Ave. in Wenatchee. Firefighters found her deceased in her bedroom.

"Preliminarily, it appears she had been smoking in bed with a nasal cannula oxygen on, and she reportedly had some ambulatory problems, which would have compromised her ability to escape," Chief Brett said. "It's a tragic loss of life."

Firefighters contained the blaze to the room.
