Just after Midnight this morning, residents in the 11700 block of S. Cochran St, just outside of the City of Willis, called 911 and reported that their neighbor’s home was on fire. The first Firefighters from the North Montgomery County Fire Department arrived soon after the 911 call, reporting fire and smoke coming from a double-wide mobile home. Two crews from Fire Station 91 entered through a window and quickly located the home’s lone occupant, a 58-year-old male, unconscious in a hallway. They brought him to a window where Officers from the Willis Police Department assisted in extricating the victim from the burning home. CPR was immediately initiated and the victim was transferred to the care of Medics from the Montgomery County Hospital District. Despite extensive efforts to resuscitate him, he did not survive and was eventually declared deceased by Pct. 1 Justice of the Peace Wayne Mack. Judge Mack has ordered an autopsy to determine the cause of death, while Investigators from the Montgomery County Fire Marshal’s Office will be working to determine the cause of the fire. At this time the victim’s identity has not been released as Investigators are making certain that family members are notified.
