FATAL FIRE

The man who died in a Mission house fire on Thursday morning has been identified as 40-year-old Michael Sedore. The fire call came in at 6:11 a.m., for a residence at 8778 Cedar Ave., at the intersection of Cedar and Tunbridge. The house was

rented by a couple, and Sedore was staying with them. The woman of the house got out, and secured the safety of

approximately 20 dogs at the property. She suffered burns on her arms, and is in intensive care at Vancouver General Hospital. Her husband was not home, having left for work

earlier that morning. An

investigation determined that the blaze was caused by a space heater in the living room.

Sedore was in a back bedroom.
