DETAILS

I responded at approximately 11:07 a.m. on Wednesday, February 11, 1998, to the scene
of a structure fire located at 368 Huth Street in the City of Green Bay. Upon arrival, I
met with Fire Department and Police Department personnel and was informed that the
occupant of the structure, believed to be Sandra Maloney, had been found by Mrs. Maloney’s
mother in the home that had obviously been involved in a fire. The occupant had expired prior
to discovery.

When Fire Department personnel arrived at the scene, the fire apparently had
self-extinguished due to lack of oxygen in the structure. Green Bay Police Department
detectives were at the scene and in charge of the investigation. I requested that the
Brown County Arson Task Force be activated because of the fatality. Captain Richard Bartlett,
Sergeant Joseph Kaminski and Sergeant Ronald Smith responded to the scene.

The structure was a one story, brick construction, three bedroom, single family dwelling.
Initial investigation indicated that the most severe damage to the interior of the structure
had occurred in the living room on the main floor of the dwelling. The interior of the building
at the main floor level was coated with a heavy covering of soot from the smoldering fire.
The bedroom at the Northwest end of the first floor sustained the least damage at that level
of the building, with a moderate coating of soot on walls, furnishings and carpeting. The
bathroom located to the South of that bedroom sustained a minor degree of heat damage in
addition to deposits of soot. The two bedrooms that were located to the South of the bathroom
sustained more severe heat and smoke damage. It was noted that a bedroom window was partially
open (approximately 4 to 6 inches) in the center West bedroom but that air movement was
obstructed by a closed window blind.
