A downtown Ironwood fire that destroyed two buildings Wednesday is also responsible for a loss of life. Ironwood Public Safety Director Gregory Klecker confirmed a single fatality as the result of the early morning fire that destroyed 102 E. Aurora St. - the home of Chelsi's Corner boutique and apartments above it - and an adjoining building to the east. "All that we have right now is one confirmed fatality. That's all we know at this point," Klecker said at a press conference mid-morning Wednesday on the corner of Aurora and Lowell streets as firefighters continued to pour water on the fire's remaining hotspots near by. He declined to comment whether the victim was a resident of the building.
