Fatal House Fire in Dooms


An 11-year-old boy died Sunday in Augusta County, as a result of a house fire in Dooms.
The fire claimed the life of 11-year-old Dustyn Fitzgerald.
Firefighters got the call for the fire at a two-story home at 698 Dooms Crossing Road just after 8:30 Sunday morning.
Three occupants in the home were able to get out but the 11-year-old, who was sleeping upstairs on the second floor, was not able to escape the fire and died of smoke inhalation.
Investigators say there is no word on what caused the fire.
