Man killed in Avacado Lane fire identified
Investigators have identified the man killed in a Gates house fire last week.
Johnnie Hill, 76, was killed when a fire ripped through his Avacado Lane home. Fire investigators say discarded smoking materials caused the fire.
An hour after the Avacado Lane fire, crews responded to another house fire a few miles away on Varian Lane.
Gates Fire Chief Jim Harrington says a man found in the home, 67-year-old Paul Rood, had died from natural causes before his home caught fire. Investigators say they still do not know the cause of the fire and they may not come to a conclusion unless new information is developed.
