Investigators with the Kentucky State Police are not saying much about a fatal fire that broke out Sunday afternoon at a home on Wilson Farm Road in rural Crittenden County. However, they do say that it is being investigated as a crime.A body was taken from the charred rubble at about daylight Monday morning. The body is believed to be that of Glenda Tinsley, an EMT, volunteer fireman and former member of the rescue squad, who lived at the home. The body was taken to Madisonville for an autopsy. Investigators are not confirming the identity of the person.
At about 4 p.m., Tinsley called central dispatching at Marion Police Department and told the dispatcher that her house was on fire and that she believed she heard someone downstairs.
By the time firemen arrived, the home was fully engulfed in flames.
The Crittenden Press will continue following this tragedy and developing story.
The photo shows firemen spraying water into a bedroom where Tinsley was believed to have been when she phoned for help.
