ATLANTA – Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John F. King announced today that two people were
killed in a Walker County fire. The fire occurred at 491 Bicentennial Trail in Rock Spring around 9:43 a.m. on

“The deceased William C. Cason, 91, and Patricia Cason, 90, were home at the time of the fire and passed as a result,” said Commissioner King. “The cause of this tragic event is still under investigation but appears to be accidental in nature.”
