BURTON, Mich. (AP) - Authorities believe that and elderly man and women who died in a Flint-area house fire were using a stove to heat the house.
Burton Fire Chief Marvin Epperson tells The Flint Journal (https://bit.ly/2hkuaeZ ) that Richard and Ellen Lynn died in a blaze that began just before 11 a.m. on Sunday. They were in their 70s.
Epperson says the fire began in the kitchen and the couple had closed off all the heating vents in the home. Fire officials say they responded to a call from neighbors who saw smoke inside the home.
Nobody else was in the home.
A Michigan State Police fire investigator will work to determine the cause of the fire.
