RV fire claims toddler's life

SANDPOINT — Bonner County sheriff’s officials say a 2-year-old girl was killed in a fire that consumed a recreational vehicle in the Hoodoo Valley on Tuesday night.

The child was identified as Genevieve Winn.

The cause of the fire remained under investigation on Wednesday, but Undersheriff David Hale said preliminary findings suggest it may be linked to the electrical supply that was serving the RV.

Hale said the power supply may have either shorted or been overloaded.

Firefighters from the Spirit Lake and West Pend Oreille fire districts were summoned to 4038 Hoodoo Loop Road southeast of Oldtown shortly after 8 p.m.
