ORANGE BLAZE CLAIMS A VICTIM

April 24, 2011

An early morning fire worked its way through a large duplex structure in Orange leaving one dead and over a dozen homeless.

Orange firefighters were sent to 124 Park Street at about 2:00 AM and arrived to find heavy smoke pushing from the first floor and occupants trapped on a second floor porch of an older large 2 ½ story frame duplex building.

On the initial search, a body of a woman was located and removed.
