LA PINE, OR -- A La Pine man died in a weekend house fire. Firefighters and Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the blaze on Old Mill Road, in La Pine, just after midnight, Saturday. When the first crews arrived, they found the home fully engulfed in flames and heard multiple explosions. Neighbors were evacuated as a precaution.

Working through the night, crews put out the fire and kept it from spreading to nearby buildings. At about 10 a.m. Saturday, the body of 67-year-old David Hill was found inside, along with a dog.

Authorities say the fire doesn’t appear to have been criminal, although the exact cause has not been released.
