Hoytt Bass ? Franklin man dies while burning land
BUDE ? A Franklin County man died Sunday while trying to control a fire near his home on Middleton Creek Road, authorities said.
Hoytt Bass, 79, died of smoke inhalation around 1 p.m. while attempting to burn an area of land behind his house, said Franklin County Sheriff James Newman.
"He was burning off a small brush heap and it got out of control," said Newman. "He was evidently trying to make it back to the house and got trapped."
Bass had apparently asked a neighbor to call the fire department. When the neighbor returned to the burn area, he was unable to find Bass, added Newman.
Newman said Bass had gotten into a low area and the smoke must have overcome him.
Franklin Funeral Home is in charge arrangements.
