Camillus House Fire Victim Identified by Authorities
I still remember reading about this tragedy in Camillus, and it shook me. On November 19, a house fire broke out on the 100 block of Mason Drive, and sadly, Michael T. Baxter, a man in his 60s, lost his life. The Camillus Police Department confirmed that the fire has been deemed non-criminal, but Onondaga County Fire Investigators are still working to determine exactly what caused it.
What makes this story hit close to home is knowing that Baxter was alone when the fire started, even though he lived with his family. Police haven’t confirmed whether he died before the fire or as a result of it, leaving a heartbreaking uncertainty.
Reading these details, you can’t help but think about the fragility of life and how quickly accidents can happen, even in the homes we feel safest in…
