The alarm was sent at 7:26 am by several people driving by on the roadway. The FD arrived to find the house fully involved. At first there was hope that the residents had already left for work and school because there was no activity near the house. But after the fire was out and the firefighters were searching through the debris, the found the lifeless bodies of the family members.
The preliminary investigation showed no indications of a deliberate setting of the fire. The investigators will spend the weekend trying to determine the cause of the blaze.
