Hanson Woman Loses Life in Fatal House Fire
Fire investigators say a Massachusetts woman died in a house fire that three other people escaped. Officials say 58-year-old Margaret O’Toole-Driscoll was one of four people who lived in the log cabin home in Hanson that caught fire Monday night. Officials did not identify the three others who escaped but said O’Toole-Driscoll was the mother of two students at Whitman-Hanson Regional High School. Firefighters attempted to rescue O’Toole-Driscoll but but were driven back by high heat and smoke. The house is now uninhabitable because of extensive fire, smoke and water damage. Officials say the preliminary investigation indicates there was no foul play.
