Avon Lake home fire claims 1 life at 120 Forest Hill Drive
A fatal Avon Lake house fire at 120 Forest Hill Drive killed 57 year old homeowner David Teller. Firefighters arrived after 9:39 p.m. and extinguished the blaze by 10:16 p.m. The cause is under investigation with possible accidental origins tied to a stove burner. The two prior fires in the same home involved a rescued 83 year old in 2006 and a woman rescued from a smoldering bed in 2009. The 1952 ranch-style house sustained $80,000 in property damage and $10,000 in belongings damage. The State Fire Marshal will continue the investigation.
