A Grove Street resident who’d been out for the evening called 911 after smelling and then seeing smoke coming from a detached garage apartment where Clare Mackin lived around 10 p.m., Deputy Police Chief Gregory Halstead said Tuesday.

Firefighters doused the two-alarm blaze and found the body of the victim, who “apparently succumbed to the intense heat and was unable to exit the structure,” Halstead said.

Also killed was her dog, responders said.

No other injuries were reported in what the deputy chief called a “tragic incident.”

An investigation into the cause was continuing, he said.
