On January 27, at about 2:22 p.m., the
Boundary County Sheriff’s Office received a
report of a house fire off of Maas Loop Road.
Sheriff’s Deputies and the North Bench Fire
Department responded to 546 Baldy Mountain Road.
They found a residence completely engulfed in
fire. The owner of the residence, 74-year-old
William Kahn, could not be located and all
indications were that he was inside the
residence.
Due to the intensity of the fire and the fact
that all portions of the residence were involved
with fire, no rescue efforts could be attempted.
North Bench Fire, with assistance from South
Boundary and Mt Hall Fire Departments, kept the
fire contained to the single structure and
cooled the scene with water.
At approximately 5:30 p.m., a body was recovered
from the residence.
At this time, a positive identification has not
been made. The investigation into the cause of
the fire is continuing. No evidence of foul play
has been found. |
