Three young children and two other people lost their lives in a residential fire in northwestern Arizona.
On Saturday, at about 5 p.m., the fire began. The victims were unable to escape the two-story duplex in that neighborhood, close to the Colorado River, authorities with the Bullhead City police department stated.
The five victims were aged 2, 4, 5, 11, and 13.
As of now, the cause of the fire isn’t known. However, it was noted that the fire began in a downstairs foyer area and went up the staircase. Thus, the children couldn’t escape an upstairs bedroom.
Authorities haven’t released many details on the matter but stated that there were no adults in the residence at the time. The father had disclosed to detectives that he had been gone for about 2.5 hours to purchase groceries and Christmas presents.
The fire continues to be investigated.
