DOTHAN — Authorities say a fire in a storage shed that killed a 55-year-old woman was an arson.

Dothan
fire Capt. Chris Etheredge says investigators are still unsure how the
fire was set. He said authorities expect to know more after an autopsy
is complete on Vicky Jo Yeager, whose body was found in the storage
shed.

Officials say Yeager lived elsewhere but used the residence where the fire occurred as a base for a food catering business.

Houston County Coroner Robert Byrd said a preliminary examination indicated Yeager died from fume inhalation and flames.
