Fire Claims 3 Lives
Kitchen Range Listed As Origin
Fay Brock - Betty Brock - Anthony Norton

A fire, which is believed to have started in the kitchen, claimed the lives of three Palacios residents last Tuesday. The three died as a result of smoke inhalation as a result of the thick smoke and searing heat which filled the home at 400 Perryman.

Pronounced dead at the scene by Pct. 3 Justice of the Peace Jack Dooley were Fay Brock, 49; his wife Betty, 32; and Anthony Norton, 12, a relative of Mrs. Brock. Norton was the son of Alice Faye Norton of Palacios.

The fire was reported to the Palacios Police Department and Palacios Volunteer Fire Department at 11:48 p. m. Tuesday, Nov. 16. Firemen arrived at the scene within minutes. Searing heat and thick smoke filled the house, however, firemen were able to extinguish the relatively small blaze quickly.

Brock’s body was found lying in a hallway leading to the kitchen. The bodies of Mrs. Brock and Norton were discovered by firemen in their bedrooms.

According to Assistant Fire Chief Sammy Davidson, the fire apparently started on the electric range in the kitchen. The bodies of Mrs. Brock and Norton were discovered by firemen in their bedrooms.

According to Assistant Fire Chief Sammy Davidson, the fire apparently started on the electric range in the kitchen where Brock had started to cook french fries. David said that an aluminum pot containing grease had been place on a large burner and that the burner had been turned on high. Davidson said that Brock had apparently fallen asleep and during that time, the burner generated enough heat to ignite the grease. He speculated that Brock woke up when the fire started, but was overcome by smoke before he could reach the kitchen.

“It (the fire) generated a tremendous amount of heat. The pot was still on the range after the fire and you could see where the burners had burned themselves into the bottom of the pot,” Davidson said. He added that a bag of french fries was found on the kitchen counter. The range was still on after firemen had extinguished the blaze. The house itself sustained only superficial damage.
