FULTON - An early morning house fire today at 613 Second Ave. claimed the life of a woman. Barb Faulkner, 60, who was asleep at the time of the fire, died at Mercy Medical Center in Iowa, confirmed Police Chief Don Damhoff. Her husband Craig was able to escape the house and was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation.
