Doniphan 5-Year-Old Dies in House Fire

Jan. 7, 2003
The fire that killed a 5-year-old Doniphan has been attributed to a chemical reaction of laundry-product residues present in clothing in the closet. While the cause of the fire sounds unusual, Deputy State Fire Marshal Chuck Hoffman said a few fires in the state and hundreds nationwide are attributed to this cause every year.
