Investigators in Ohio say it may take several days to determine what started a mobile home fire in Tiffin that killed a man and five children ages 6 and under. All six died Sunday morning in the fast-moving fire.
The victims have been identified as 25-year-old Timothy Fresch, 6-year-old Tiara Angel, 5-year-old Stormie Huey, 4-year-old Trinity Huey, 3-year-old Sunshine Huey and 2-year-old Domonic Fresch. The children’s mother was at work when the fire broke out according to a relative and Tiffin Police Chief Fred Stevens.
A state fire marshal’s investigator says it’s too early to talk about a possible cause. He says there were no indications of anything suspicious.
A passerby by saw smoke and heard children screaming. He broke out the door but could not get it unlocked. A coroner will perform autopsies to determine cause of the victims’ deaths.
