The man who died after a massive house fire in West El Paso last Thursday was identified Monday as 65-year-old Phil Kenrick, a spokesman with the El Paso Fire Department said.
The house fire on the 700 block of Villa Vanessa was reported just after 4:30 a.m. on September 13, 2018.
The cause of the fire is still undetermined as a result of the extent of the damage, estimated at $138,000, the fire department said.
At one point, flames were shooting up as high as 30 feet in the sky, firefighters said at the time.
Aerial photographs provided to ABC-7 show the home’s roof collapsed.
