Authorities have now released the name of a woman who died in a weekend field fire.  She has been identified as 79 year old Carol Woodson of Marion.


Shortly after 3pm Sunday (April 4), the Linn County Sheriff received a 911 call from the 3,000 block of Gillmore Road, southwest of Alburnette, reporting that a field fire was burning out of control.

When emergency personnel arrived at the scene, they found a ditch fire that had spread out of control. They also discovered a woman, who was apparently tending the fire, down on the ground, engulfed in flames.
