The Eden Fire Department and the Rockingham County Fire Marshal's Office are investigating a deadly fire that started Monday before sunrise.
"I opened up the door and when I walked out, I said, my God, his deck was just inflamed," remembered Terry Widel, who lives across the street from the home on Bent Grass Lane.
Firefighters were called to the home around 6:30 am. When they arrived, neighbors say the fire had spread significantly from the back of the home to the rest of the house.
