## Summary

Don Nolan died after running back into his burning mobile home in Woodville, Washington, to look for his partner, Angie Webb, whom he believed was still inside. Webb escaped through a back window, but the fire destroyed the home and took the couple’s cat; the cause has not been established.

The fire broke out at about 2am on 9 November while the couple were asleep in separate rooms. Surveillance footage showed Nolan escaping, calling out for Webb and then re-entering the house; her family said she was asleep in another room and got out through the rear window. The couple rented the home and had no insurance, so a friend started a fundraiser to help Webb find an apartment and replace lost belongings.
