Allegan County fatal fire under investigation by fire marshal

Despite efforts of an Allegan County Sheriff’s deputy and a neighbor of a resident in a house fire in the 4800 block of 46th Street in Allegan County, the lone occupant died in the fire.

 

Allegan County Central 911 dispatched deputies Thursday at 10:13 a.m. on a call of the house on fire, with further information that there was a resident inside the home who was unable to get out.

The sheriff’s department arrived on the scene to the home fully involved.  Deputy Rob Flokstra and a neighbor attempted to go into the home to aid the lone occupant but the fire and smoke prevented them from entering the house.  

  

The occupant was found deceased inside the home after the fire was extinguished. Police did not immediately release the identity of the victim. The fire is under investigation by the Michigan State Police Fire Marshal’s Division and the Allegan County Sheriff’s Office.

 

Overisel and Salem township fire departments and Hamilton, Zeeland, and Holland fire departments assisted at the scene.
