FALMOUTH, MA- Fatal Fire (05-17-08)

NORTH FALMOUTH — Police have still not released the name of a construction worker who died Saturday following a house fire in the Fiddlers Cove neighborhood.

The man, who worked for Green Mountain Insulation of White River Junction, Vt., was trapped in the attic of the home at 28 Deer Run Lane after the fire broke out about 2:15 p.m., fire officials said.

Emergency workers rescued the man from the attic. He was taken by ambulance to Falmouth Hospital, where he was pronounced dead later in the afternoon.

Officials at Green Mountain Insulation did not return calls for comment.

Two other company workers and four firefighters were also injured in the fire, according to Falmouth Deputy Fire Chief Mark Sullivan. They were treated at Falmouth Hospital and later released.

The Falmouth Fire Department, police department and the state fire marshal's office are still investigating the cause of the blaze.

Investigators believe the fire was accidental, state Fire Marshal Stephen Coan said yesterday.

Sullivan said the fire may have been related to the foam insulation being sprayed into the attic.

Workers from the insulation company M. Duffany Builders Inc., the building contractor and insurance inspectors gathered yesterday outside the house to determine the extent of the damage.

The North Falmouth home has been under renovation since September, said Michael Duffany of Duffany Builders.

Duffany said he does not know the name of the deceased worker or the cause of the fire

Property owner Marybeth Orfao, of Concord, declined to comment on the fire Saturday night
