Cal Fire investigators have identified the victim of a fatal fire Thanksgiving Day. The victim is 68-year-old Ida Post. The fire broke out just after noon in a mobile home on Squirrel Lane. Investigators say the fire was caused by an electric heating blanket with faulty wiring. It spread quickly once it reached oxygen tanks the victim used for medical reasons.
Cal Fire reminds everyone to be sure any electric appliance you use to stay warm in the cold winter months, is in good working order.
