UPDATE (8/15/17 at 11:15 a.m.):
A 45-year-old woman was killed in a fire in Clarksburg Sunday night, according to Clarksburg

Four people were in the home at the time of the fire, Magee said, and three people were able
to escape. An elderly woman was able to exit from the ground floor, and a young girl and a man
exited from the second floor, Magee said.
Investigators believe the fire started in the kitchen and was related to a toaster oven that was
being used.
The West Virginia State Fire Marshal's Office will continue to investigate the blaze, but Magee
said the fire will most likely be ruled undetermined in cause.
An autopsy is being completed at the state medical examiner's office in Charleston, and the woman's
name will be released after her identity is confirmed, authorities said.
