Police have identified the woman who died in a fire at a mobile home in Vernon early Sunday morning.
Multiple 911 calls came in about a fire at a mobile home on Middle Terrace around 2:43 a.m.
Fire Marshal Dan Wasilewski says first arriving units found a mobile home on 10 Middle Terrace engulfed in flames. "They made several attempts to make it inside the structure, but due to the damage and the amount of fire, they fought most of the fire from the exterior," said Wasilewski.
According to town officials, a resident was found dead in the home. The person has been identified as 61-year-old Teresa Garnett. No one else was in the home at the time.
"The individual was in the mobile home. The only resident that we could find at the time. We have done an extensive search and found no other individuals inside the home," said Wasilewski.
