One Person Dead after Granville Fire
February 8th, 2013
GRANVILLE, Mass. (WGGB) — One person is dead after fire breaks out near a Granville garage.
Jennifer Mieth, spokesperson for State Fire Marshal Stephen Coan, the fire started around 9:00 a.m. Friday at Hansen’s Garage on Silver Street in Granville.
A homeless couple was staying in a van on the property when it caught fire, Mieth adds.
A woman was able to escape but another person was not and died.
The cause remains under investigation, but Mieth says that investigators are focusing on a portable propane heater/stove that may have ignited bedding inside the van.
The name of the victim has not been released.
Fires are horrible, my thoughts are with the family.
Having made that clear, the grammar in the headline is atrocious. I know that “unaccounted for” is considered one word in usage, and dangling prepositions are all the rage, but it reads ugly.
