Firefighters found human remains after a fire at an abandoned commercial garage along Winch Road in Fairbanks.
According to a dispatch from Alaska State Troopers, the Steese Area Volunteer Fire Department responded to a report of flames at the garage just before 9:30 p.m. Sunday. Shortly after extinguishing the fire, the remains were found.
The fire was determined to have originated above an oil stove, which a deputy fire marshal at the scene said is consistent with a chimney fire. The building is considered a total loss by troopers.
The fire did not appear suspicious, according to troopers, and the remains were sent to the state medical examiner for identification.
