TUESDAY’S WILLIS HOUSE FIRE TURNS DEADLY

At 12:16 am a reported house fire came into Montgomery County 911 Center from a home in the 12600 block of Ridgecrest Drive in the Lake Conroe Hills Subdivision. The caller stated a teen was trapped in a bedroom. North Montgomery County Fire Department responded to the scene. The first truck which is stationed within a mile of the fire was first in and reported heavy fire on a single-story brick home. A search was immediately started and at one point firefighters had to exit the structure due to the intensity of the fire. A crew went back into the burning structure and after a short time found an 18-year-old female in a closet. She was brought out and CPR was initiated. They were able to get a pulse back and transported her to Conroe Regional Hospital with second and third-degree burns over 50 percent of her body. The teen identified as Mary Weaver passed away Thursday at HCA Conroe Regional.  A 31-year-old female was able to escape the blaze with a laceration to her leg. In addition, three small children were able to escape. Their family dog did not make it out. The Montgomery County Fire Marshal’s Office is on the scene investigating. North Montgomery FIre was assisted by Conroe and Montgomery Fire Departments. There were no working smoke detectors in the home.  A GOFUNDME has been set up for the family to help with funeral expenses.
