Medical Equipment Blamed in Fatal Fire
A 67-year-old Tustin man died Tuesday in a fire possibly sparked by medical equipment he was using at his home.
Authorities did not immediately release his name.
The fire occurred about 6:15 p.m. in the living room of a house on the 700 block of Clark Way where the man lay in an electric hospital-type bed equipped with an oxygen generator, said Capt. Steve Miller, a spokesman for the Orange County Fire Authority.
Investigators attributed the fire, which caused about $30,000 worth of damage, to a wiring problem in the wall.
