SOUTH BEND, Wash. (AP) — The Pacific County sheriff’s office says a disabled woman died in a fire as her adult daughter was overcome with smoke trying to rescue her from a burning mobile home.
Investigators responding to the scene Tuesday near Raymond found the body believed to be Tiffanie Duncan, although positive identification will have to come from the Pacific County coroner’s office.
The sheriff’s office says her daughter Valerie Boisen had tried to remove Duncan from the home but was overcome by smoke and driven back again when she tried to re-enter.
Boisen was treated at Grays Harbor Community Hospital for smoke inhalation and minor burns.
The fire apparently started in a laundry room.
