TUFTONBORO (AP) - New Hampshire fire investigators say a fatal house fire in Tuftonboro last month was caused by ashes that had been discarded from a woodstove.
The fire broke out the night of Nov. 16 while a couple was sleeping.
Fire officials said Tuesday that the man, Richard Cary, tried to put out the fire while Deborah Cary remained in the home to get clothing and other items.
The fire rapidly consumed the building.
Deborah Cary's body was found inside the home after the fire . The state medical examiner's office say she died of smoke inhalation.
Fire officials recommend that homeowners call 911 immediately when a fire is discovered and avoid trying to fight the fire themselves.![]()
