Woman Dies In Fire Near Cherokee City
A woman died and her caretaker was treated for injuries after a house fire near Cherokee City Monday night.
Joyce Boyle died in the fire, according to a news release from the Benton County Sheriff's Office. Her grandson and caretaker, Calvin Boyle, escaped.
Calvin Boyle was treated for smoke inhalation and minor burns and taken to the Siloam Springs Regional Hospital, said Gentry Fire Chief Vester Cripps.
The entire home at 24692 Cherokee Road was in flames when firefighters arrived, Cripps said. Firefighters were called to the residence at 11:44 p.m.
The fire started in the chimney of a freestanding wood stove and worked its way into the attic, said Marc Trollinger, Benton County fire marshal.
Trollinger said Joyce Boyle was in her mid-70s. Her body was found in the same room as the wood stove and was sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab to determine cause of death.
It took about an hour for firefighters from Gentry, Decatur, Maysville, Highfill and Siloam Springs to get the blaze under control, Cripps said. Wind was the biggest problem as gusts blew heat and flames toward the home's narrow driveway pushing firefighters away.
It was a big fire and a lot of wind, "Cripps said.
