When the firefighters arrived on the scene shortly after 5:30 am they found fire showing on the 3rd floor of the row house and made immediate entry. They found the body of one victim right away, but the other wasn’t discovered until about 2 hours later. The survivor was sleeping in another room and was awakened by the fire. He sounded the alarm andvainly tried to put the fire out or beat it back in an effort to get to his wife and granddaughter.
Thirty firefighters from three departments worked the fire which was contained to the one home. The cause wasn’t immediately determined, but is believed to be accidental.
