Trailer fire victim passes
After losing his trailer and vehicle to a fire, Sandpoint resident Tim Knight was transported to Seattle where he passed away last week.
SANDPOINT — Tim Knight, who was critically injured in a November trailer fire, succumbed to his injuries Dec. 5 despite efforts to encourage his recovery.
After returning home Nov. 19 to his camper, where Knight lived, he lit a cigarette unaware his propane tank had a crack, his niece Rachael Patterson said. This caused the camper and his vehicle to be engulfed in flames, causing them to be destroyed in a matter of minutes.
According to social media posts, area residents said they heard and felt a loud boom when the explosion happened.
