Fire call came out around 10:25pm on 1-18-10 to a house fire on Finch St in Decatur, IL. The house was completely on fire in a few min. It looks like everyone got out ok, i'm still waiting on updates for that.

-Update- 55-year-old Charles Mathes died in the fire. During a coroner's inquest Wednesday morning, a jury ruled his death accidental. Mathes was alive for a short time during the fire. He died of smoke inhalation.

The cause of the fire was ruled undetermined, though, meaning investigators can't say for sure what caused it.
