Fire razes rural Sheridan County home
By ALLAN TINKER
On January 8, at approximately 2 p.m., the McClusky Fire Department, Sheridan County Sheriff’s Department, and McClusky Ambulance were dispatched to a structure fire at 940 11th St. NE in rural Sheridan County.
Three victims were found at a neighboring residence and one victim was believed to be still in the residence.
Upon arrival at the house fire, first responders were unable to make entry into the residence because the fire was too intense.
An automobile parked in front of the residence was also consumed by flames and was pulled away from the front of the structure.
Assistance arrived from the Goodrich Fire Department, Turtle Lake Ambulance, North Dakota Highway Patrol and the McLean County Sheriff’s Department.
A body was located at the scene on January 9, and is believed to be the juvenile male victaim. Positive identification is pending from the ND State Forensic Examiner and, of early afternoon on Monday, no report had been received by the Sheridan County Sheriff’s office.
