Fatal Spruce View fire deemed not suspicious

Sep 13, 2018 | 5:55 PM

The investigation has wrapped up in relation to a house fire earlier this month that claimed the life of a senior from Spruce View.

Crews from Spruce View Fire, Innisfail Fire, Red Deer County Fire and Red Deer County Technical Rescue were dispatched just before 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 2. They worked for several hours extinguishing a fire that severely damaged a home at the property.  

The lone occupant of the home, an 83-year-old man, was located deceased inside the home.

Innisfail RCMP have investigated the death and have found no evidence to suggest any further investigation is required.
