Old Town Couple Dead in House Fire

(OLD TOWN, Maine)_ State fire officials say an Old Town couple was killed in a late-morning fire that swept through a one-story home Saturday. Dead are 67-year-old Joseph Prekop and 68-year-old Adrienne Raff-Prekop. Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland says the husband was able to phone for help before he was overcome by the smoke.

Officials say it appears that a combination of lit smoking materials and Raff-Prekop's oxygen tank caused the conflagration.

The home on South Gate Road sustained heavy fire and smoke damage.
