Fox and Augusta fire departments assisted Hanover Township (Columbiana County) Fire Department at the scene of a fatal house fire in the early morning hours of Feb. 5.
Hanover Township was toned at approximately 5:30 a.m. for a structure fire at 8516 Memorial Rd., NE, Kensington.
Upon arrival, they found the single-story home fully engulfed in flames with a person trapped inside the 28×56 modular home, located in East Twp., Carroll County.
Hanover Twp. Fire Chief Frank Baker said there were four adults and three children living in the home.
