ORANGEVILLE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (Feb. 13, 2014) — An elderly woman was killed in a fire at a mobile home park early Thursday morning.

The fire was at a mobile home located at 4577 Circle Inn Drive in Barry County’s Orangeville Township.  Sheriff’s deputies say a call to 911 was made from the address, but nobody was on the other line.

The fire did spread to at least one other mobile home, but it’s unclear how much damage was done.  The cause remains under investigation.
