Winsloe fatal fire ruled an accident

A fatal fire earlier this month in Winsloe has been ruled an accident.

Fire crews were called to the Tourist Motel and Cabins around 5 a.m. on Nov. 1. When they arrived, half of the building was engulfed in flames.

Investigators say discarded smoking material in a sofa in the home connected to the motel is likely what started the fire.

Daniel Boone MacDonald, 65, of Kingston died in the fire.
