Delanson fire debris said to contain body, scene photos

State police investigators were among those working late Saturday into early Sunday at a house on Thousand Acres Road in Delanson where one firefighter said he heard several explosions shortly after the fire call came in, at 9:08 p.m.

The area where firefighters were still trying to extinguish the fire as late as 1 a.m. was taped off with yellow police tape often used at crime scenes.

Another firefighter said there was a body inside a pick-up truck which he said was one of three vehicles that burned when a barn that also served as a garage burned to the ground. What appeared to be the frames of cars could be seen from the road.

Other firefighters would neither confirm nor deny that investigators were looking into some sort of fatality.

One member of the Delanson Fire Department said they had been instructed by the County Fire Coordinator to withhold information about any injuries because there were family members who had not been notified.

The house was marked with the number 1132, as was the mailbox that also had the name Daniel Bartlett on it.
