Toll of Ecorse Fire Now at Four Dead
Ecorse, Michigan (AP) The death toll following an apartment house fire rose to four Sunday when firemen recovered two more bodies from the rubble.
The bodies of Randall Boyd, 23, and Carl Browning, 44, were recovered Saturday after the fire. Identification of the latest victims was not made immediately.
The fire which gutted the Chase Apartment building in downtown Ecorse is believed to have begun in a furnace. More than 100 men from seven departments fought the blaze. About 40 people lived in the structure.
Firemen said they believe all building residents are accounted for and were not sure whether future searches would be held.
