Yantis Fire Department was on the scene to put out a forest fire when the body was discovered. The body was found at 482 CR 1858 in Wood County at 3:26 p.m.
Nathaniel “Nate” Batchelor, 73, is believed to have tripped over a log while trying to put out the fire on his property, was unable to get up and perished in the fire.
