On Sunday, February 17, 2008 at 12:56 a.m. the Houston County Sheriff’s Office received a call from an On Star operator stating a passerby travelling on Hwy 26 reported a house that was fully engulfed in flames on a hillside in Brownsville.
The Brownsville Fire Department was paged to 817 2nd Street. Upon their arrival they were unable to locate any persons that may have been living there.
The Brownsville Fire Department requested assistance from Hokah and La Crescent Fire Departments. The home was a total loss.
At 11:30 a.m. the Houston County Sheriff’s Office and the Minnesota State Fire Marshall began their investigation into the cause of the fire and the possibility that a person may have been inside the residence.
At 12:05 p.m. Sunday a victim was found in the debris.
Identification of the victim is not being made until the coroners report has been completed.
The State Fire Marshall stated that there was no way to determine the cause of the fire.
