Man Dies In Holland House Fire

HOLLAND (AP) - A 29-year-old man has died in the first fatal fire at a Holland house since 1996.

The Holland Sentinel reports that the cause still is being investigated, although the fire appears to have started in the back of the two-story home early Saturday in western Michigan.

The victim was identified as Jeremiah Donald Smith. Fire Lt. Andy Stokes says three other people inside the house survived, including a toddler.
