WEIPPE - Law enforcement Wednesday identified the girl who was killed in a fire in Weippe Monday.

The Clearwater County Sheriff's Office confirmed 3-year-old Feather Marie Proctor died in the blaze. Two others were able to get out of the home.

Proctor's grandmother, 40-year-old Fawn Robles, is listed in satisfactory condition at Deaconess Medical Center in Spokane, and a hospital spokesperson said Robles would likely be released by Thursday.

14-month old Faith Proctor was treated for smoke inhalation and released from Clearwater Valley Hospital Monday.

As of Wednesday, Chief Deputy Rick Miller said firefighters did not have a cause or origin of the fire. That investigation is continuing.

The American Red Cross of Greater Idaho is providing assistance to the family by way of clothing, shoes, and food, which were all destroyed in the fire. A Red Cross spokesperson said the family is currently staying with friends.
