|
WENGNews writes, "A WOMAN DIED IN A HOUSE FIRE IN PORT CHARLOTTE FRIDAY NIGHT. REPORTS FROM CHARLOTTE FIRE AND EMS AND THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAY THEY ARRIVED ON SCENE JUST BEFORE 9PM FRIDAY AND FOUND THE HOUSE FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. ONE OF THE WOMEN WHO LIVED IN THE HOUSE, 50 YEAR OLD VENICA ROGERS, TOLD AUTHORITIES THAT SHE BELIEVED HER SISTER WAS STILL INSIDE. ROGERS TOLD DEPUTIES THAT SHE WAS IN HER BEDROOM WHEN THE SMOKE DETECTORS WENT OFF. WHEN SHE CAME OUT OF HER ROOM, SHE FOUND SMOKE IN THE KITCHEN AND COULD SEE IT WAS COMING FROM THE GARAGE, WHERE HER SISTER, 53 YEAR OLD DEBORAH REED, WAS LISTENING TO THE STEREO. SHE TRIED TO OPEN THE GARAGE DOOR, BUT COULD NOT BECAUSE FLAMES WERE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH AND THE DOOR WAS MELTING. FIREFIGHTERS FOUND REED IN THE GARAGE DURING A SECONDARY SEARCH OF THE HOME. REED WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD AT THE SCENE. INVESTIGATORS DON’T SUSPECT FOUL PLAY, BUT HAVE NOT COMPLETED THEIR INVESTIGATION."
