After a house fire in the Phenix City region, which claimed the life of a female occupant, over a dozen fire vehicles and law enforcement officers from a number of different agencies rushed to the scene. The house caught fire just off of Highway 165, which caused traffic to stop moving in both directions for about two hours due to the closure of the highway. According to a member of the family who spoke with News 3, his mother-in-law, who is paralyzed, was inside the house when the fire broke out, but her husband was able to escape the blaze. The family is under the impression that the fire began in the kitchen.
