FireInfo
At approximately 2:33 am neighbors discovered the fire and attempted to enter the home believing people were inside. By the time fire and police personnel arrived it was fully engulfed in flames. One resident escaped by jumping from a second story roof. It was later determined six people remained inside and died. Although the initial investigation indicated the fire originated as a result of an electrical issue, additional circumstances suggest the fire may have been intentionally set.Agency
