We regret to report that a two-year-old child was killed in a motorhome fire in Oldtown last night.
On July 14 at approximately 8 p.m., a structure fire was reported at 4038 Hoo Doo Loop in Oldtown.
Genevieve Winn, age 2, died in the motorhome which was completely consumed by fire. The fire began and was contained in the motorhome.
The child was alone inside the motorhome and other unharmed adults were at or near this rural location. Preliminary information indicates the fire may have been caused by electrical wiring, though the cause of the fire is under investigation.
Detectives from the Bonner County Sheriff’s Office and the Bonner County Coroner were at the scene throughout the night and into the morning. An autopsy has been ordered.
Our hearts go out to the family of the deceased.
