Fatal Fire Investigation Continues

Updated: April 9, 2012
Investigators now believe the Benton County fire that claimed the life of a three-year-old girl last week started on the outside of the home.

The toddler died of apparent smoke inhalation after a mobile home caught fire Friday on Indian Hills Boulevard in Avoca.

Benton County Fire Marshal Marc Trollinger says he is still trying to find out what caused the fire, but believes it started near a deck on the back side of the trailer.

The Benton County Sheriff's Office is also investigating the fatal fire, but say at this time it is not considered a criminal investigation.
