One found dead in rubble of Madbury mobile home fire

MADBURY - One person was killed in a mobile home fire in Madbury on Thursday.

Firefighters got involved just before midnight when they responded to Bunker Lane after multiple reports were made to 911 that a home was on fire. When the first responders arrived, they found the single-family home actively on fire and learned that the sole occupant was missing, according to a Thursday press release from the Dept. of Safety.

Firefighters worked for several hours to extinguish the fire, but due to a roof collapse, crews were initially unable to access all areas of the home. After the fire was extinguished, fire personnel located an adult male deceased inside the home.

The identity of the victim is being withheld pending an autopsy by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner scheduled for today.

Investigators with the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal's Office responded to the scene and are leading an investigation into the origin and cause of the fire. All aspects of the fire remain under investigation, however the fire is not currently considered suspicious.

Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is encouraged to contact the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal's Office at (603) 223-4289 or fmo@dos.nh.gov. No further information is available at this time.
