Firefighters find body inside burning Spencer home

November 4, 2019 By Radio Iowa Contributor

Firefighters are investigating after a body was found in a burning home in northwest Iowa today.

The Spencer Fire Department was called shortly after ten o’clock this morning to a report of a structure fire with an occupant possibly still inside. Once on scene, firefighters made entry into the home where a primary search search found a closed bedroom door. A search of the room revealed the origin of the flames and the body of 72-year-old Lawrence Bendlin.

Fire crews spent around three hours at the scene and were able to contain fire damage to the one room with smoke damage seen throughout the structure.
