pcrowley@adirondackdailyenterprise.com A burned house at 47 Rockledge Lane in Saranac Lake is seen mid-afternoon Tuesday. (Enterprise photo — Lou Reuter) SARANAC LAKE Ashes from a wood stove had been put in a metal bucket, which was sitting in a metal wagon parked outside on the ground, up against the front porch. The bucket wasn’t covered. It was a windy day. Somehow, perhaps egged on by the wind, flames sprang up from the ash bucket in the middle of the night. The flames spread to the porch, and from there to the house. That is what Essex County fire investigators believe caused a fire early Monday morning that killed Carol Omar, the 77-year-old woman who lived by herself in the cottage at 47 Rockledge Lane, overlooking Moody Pond.
