The Dalton Fire Department says a house fire claimed the life of an 86-year-old woman Sunday evening. The fire broke out a little after 5:30 p.m. at a home on the 1000 block of Riverbend Road. When firefighters arrived, they were told a woman was inside the bedroom in the back of the house. Firefighters went through a window and found the victim, Ida Bonds, who was already deceased. Investigators do not suspect foul play. A family member told police that the home had been without electricity for about 24 hours and that power had been restored shortly before the fire. The family member began to smell smoke and when he went to the back of the house to check he found that the house was on fire.
