Firefighters say they found the body of a woman inside of a house in Republic after fighting a raging fire, smoke from which could be seen for miles.
The woman’s husband escaped the home.
The fire started inside of a mobile home in the Alpine Village Mobile Home Park off of Highway 60.
Oxygen tanks inside the home gave abundant fuel to the fire, which caused flames witnesses say ‘shot into the air.’
More than 50 firefighters fought the fire.
