Early Morning House Fire Claims Two Lives
December 22, 2012
Fire claimed the lives of two people Saturday morning near Canoe, Alabama.
A small wood frame home on Sycamore Road at Jerkins Loop was fully involved and almost burned to the ground when the first firefighters arrived on scene just after 5 a.m.
The fire reportedly began when 58-year old Perry Buckhault was loading or lighting a wood-burning heater when he somehow set himself on fire. Buckhault and a second person in the house, identified as Leanna Redmond, perished in the blaze.
Buckhault’s wife, Ida Mae, reportedly tried to put the fire out but was forced to escape. She suffered minor burn injuries and was evaluated on scene by EMS.
Multiple departments from Atmore to Flomaton to Walnut Hill responded to the blaze. The Alabama State Fire Marshal’s Office is continuing their investigation into the blaze.
